A substantial residential holding that straddles the border of Meath and Westmeath will round out the land sales for the year as it goes for auction less than a week before Christmas.
Comprising of 264ac of land that is all one block, over half the farm at Clondalee More, Hill of Down, Ballivor, Co Meath, is in forestry with the balance made up of grazing land.
On the books of Mullingar-based, James L Murtagh Auctioneers, its being offered to the market in its entire and in lots.
Lot 1 contains the dwelling and yard set on 66ac. Set back over 100m from the public road, the traditional two-storey farmhouse, is approached via an avenue that is tree-lined in part.
It has retained its original charm and character and although it has been vacant for a number of years – and requires full refurbishment – it is said to be in very good condition. It may, with the potential aid of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG), present an exceptional opportunity for someone looking to put their own stamp on a classic rural home.
the 240ac residential farm at Clondalee More, Hill Of Down, Ballivor, Co Meath heads for public auction on 19 December.
The farmyard is adjacent to the residence and contains a selection of traditional agricultural sheds and outbuildings. A round-roof hayshed with lean-tos on either side is the main structure present with a number of smaller storage buildings between it and the house. While these structures also require upgrading, they provide a focal point if the purchaser wants to modernise the yard.
The house and yard are surrounded by the land.
The land is out in six divisions of different sizes and surrounds the house and yard. On 153ac, Lot 2 contains a substantial land bank of forestry and a preliminary inspection indicated that the forestry is positioned for immediate clear-fell. Conifer species dominate it with the balance of the trees made up of hardwoods. There is also a portion of bogland on the northern boundary.
Set among the forestry, Lot 3 comprises of 29ac of prime agricultural lands. Laid out in four well-shaped, easily managed divisions, it is currently in permanent pasture.
Part of the farm –16ac is on the Westmeath side of the border – is offered as Lot 4. Laid out in high-quality permanent pasture, it has excellent road frontage along its southern boundary. The entire is listed as Lot 5.
This is a unique offering in terms of its size as well as the variety contained within it. It has substantial forestry close to maturation with quality grazing lands, and a traditional residence in good condition in a scenic and well-located part of Co Meath.
The forestry is close to maturing and is mostly conifers with some hardwoods also included.
It is 12km from Ballivor and 13km from Kinnegad. Auctioneer Padraic Murtagh is guiding this farm in the region of €1.4m to €1.5m.
The auction takes place at 3.30pm on Friday 19 December in the Greville Arms Hotel, Mullingar, Co Westmeath and online on the LSL auctions platform.
