High interest is being shown for a circa 65-arce parcel in Co Roscommon. Good-quality, substantial holdings such as this can be hard to come by in this area, so high interest is likely from both inside and outside the locality. According to the handler of the sale, John Earley of Property Partners Earley in Roscommon town, this is the case.

The good-quality holding is located circa 15km from Roscommon town in a renowned farming district close to Knockcroghery village. Laid out predominantly in one block, two acres of the property are split from the remaining 63 acres by a country road. The parcel contains a derelict house in need of total refurbishment, as well as outbuildings in need of modernisation.

It is preferred that the property be sold in its entire, but it can be sold in lots should the market dictate.

The property is guided around the €450,000-€500,000 bracket, working out at circa €7,500/acre. Given the quality, size and location of the farm, one could conduce that the property is keenly priced. The property is being sold by private treaty and John Earley is confident that a sale will be achieved in the coming weeks.
