New to the market with KW Properties in Co Roscommon is an unusually versatile farm. Situated in Clontarsna, a 10-minute drive from the town of Castlerea, the 160ac landholding offers scale, privacy and residential potential.
Split across several adjacent blocks, the holding comprises 100ac of bogland and 60ac of woodland, together with a further 22ac of unregistered land.
Established in 2002, the forestry incorporates a range of species including Sitka and Norway spruce, Japanese larch, oak, and alder, which offer privacy while also providing commercial opportunity, subject to appropriate management, licensing and statutory requirements.
While there are no habitable dwellings on the land, five historical residential sites have been identified across the plots, offering potential for development, subject to planning.
Two of these locations include derelict houses which may be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG) and energy upgrade incentives. One of the dwellings overlooks Lough O’Flynn, which borders the parcel.
Beyond its amenity value and residential potential, the combination of established woodland, bogland and natural countryside gives the holding strong ecological and biodiversity appeal, which may be of interest to conservationists and environmental groups.
The varied landscape provides habitat for a range of flora and fauna, while adding to the property’s overall ecological and recreational value.
Guided in the region of €950,000, the land is expected to appeal to a broad range of buyers, from private purchasers seeking a peaceful setting to forestry investors. Offered as a single holding, the vendor may also consider selling in separate lots, subject to enquiry. Interest to date has been strong, both nationally and internationally.
