New to the market is a 36ac residential smallholding at Castleplunkett, Castlerea, Co Roscommon.
Divided into two plots on either side of the road, the main 25ac parcel incorporates the residence and yard. While requiring full refurbishment, the traditional farmhouse presents good potential and is likely to be eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG), as well as SEAI energy upgrade grants.
Adjacent to the dwelling is a small yard containing a good-sized livestock shed which is partitioned into three pens with a feeding area and cattle crush. Set out in six large square paddocks with four gated entrances at the roadside, the land is secured along the external boundaries with electric fencing.
On the opposite side of the road, the 11ac parcel is laid out in two fields, each benefiting from a gated entrance and piped water. Having been ploughed and reseeded in recent years, the land is in good condition throughout and is suited to all agricultural enterprises. Both parcels feature extensive road frontage.
Situated less than a kilometre from the village of Castleplunkett, Co Roscommon, the town of Castlerea is a 15-minute drive, putting all key amenities within easy reach.
For sale by private treaty with Sheehy Meares Real Estate, offers are invited on the farm. Similar holdings have recently sold in the region for €12,000/ac - €15,000/ac. The smallholding is likely to appeal to a broad range of purchasers, including young and expanding farmers seeking a rural home on a well-established farm, Initial interest has been strong, with enquiries from local farmers as well as those further afield across the west of Ireland.
