A well-kept residential farm with renewable electricity installations is generating interest among potential buyers in Co Fermanagh. The 58ac block on Tummery Road near Irvinestown was launched on the market last month by Pollock Estate Agents.
The farm is made up of good-quality land which is laid out in grass at present. All fields are currently used for silage and the owner has been active in maintaining the property to a high standard, including drainage, hedge cutting and fencing.
Perimeter fencing is stock proof and all fields have access to a water supply for drinking troughs. The farm is a mix of flat and gently sloping fields which can be accessed from public roadways. There is also a central concrete laneway and significant road frontage onto the Enniskillen road.
The current owner has been active in carrying out drainage, hedge cutting and fencing.
The farmyard includes a range of traditional and modern buildings, including a partially tanked livestock shed which can house around 60 cattle, a 78ft × 45ft machinery shed with roller doors, and two covered silos.
The dwelling house includes a lounge, sitting room, modern kitchen, shower room and utility room on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a shelved hotpress.
Renewables
The property also includes a 150kW wind turbine on an elevated site towards the rear of the farm. The installation has a grid connection, meaning the electricity generated can be sold to the national grid.
It is also eligible for ROC payments under the Northern Ireland Renewable Obligation (NIRO) scheme. An application is also under consideration to raise the turbine mast height, which would increase output.
The property also includes a 150kW wind turbine on an elevated site.
There are also 6.5kW solar panels attached to the roof of farm buildings. These panels are owned outright, provide electricity supply to the farmyard and dwelling house, and are eligible for ROC payments.
The property is open to offers from potential buyers. According to auctioneer Keith Pollock, bare land in the area typically makes £10,000/ac, although bids for this property will need to reflect the additional dwelling house, farmyard and renewable installation income.
