Skidoo Farm at Ballyboughal, north Dublin, has hit the market.

Located between Swords and Ashbourne and within easy reach of the M1 motorway, the 237ac farm is just 22km Dublin city centre.

Up until 2019, one of Ireland's oldest Charolais herds occupied the farm before it was dispersed.

At a guide price of €7m, the renowned tillage and livestock farm is being offered for sale as a whole or in two lots – lot one, Skidoo House and Farm, guiding €6.625m, and lot two, Skidoo Lodge, guiding at €375,000.

The property contains a 35-box stable courtyard, arranged around a central grass quadrangle which could suit both private and commercial equestrian operations. A separate principal farmyard offers an extensive range of modern agricultural buildings designed for the efficient housing and handling of livestock, including a former dairy unit.

The free-draining, level land is currently in grass but is equally suited to tillage and features approximately 1.5km of road frontage and a network of internal tracks.
