New to the market with Fox & Gallagher auctioneers is a 34ac residential farm in Ballyscanlon, Crossmolina, Co Mayo. Split across three separate parcels of adjacent land, the main 14.5 ac plot includes a traditional single-storey farmhouse. In need of full refurbishment, the dwelling is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG).

Behind the residence is a good-sized hardcore yard containing a four-bay slatted shed with multiple livestock pens. While currently fitted with sheep slats, the building is adaptable for cattle conversion. Other infrastructure includes a hay shed, and a general-purpose outhouse.

Surrounding the yard, the land is laid out in several divisions with mature hedgerow boundaries. Extending beyond the rear of the plot is an 11.5ac parcel, which benefits from multiple access points, while the remaining 8ac field is situated further along the public road from the main plot.

Currently all in grass and grazed by sheep, the land is very good quality throughout and is suited to a range of agricultural uses. The 11.5ac and 8ac plots also benefit from road frontage, opening up the possibility of site potential, subject to planning.

Located four minutes from Kilmurray, Co Mayo, the farm has convenient access to local educational, retail and leisure amenities. A wider range of services and facilities are available in the nearby town of Crossmolina, which is less than 10 minutes away.

For sale by private treaty, the farm is guided at €400,000 in its entirety, with the option to purchase as three standalone lots. Presenting an attractive starter opportunity for a young farmer seeking to establish a residential base, the holding may also appeal to neighbouring operators looking to expand.
