A versatile and adaptable farm is currently on the market in Coraweelis, Ashfield, Cootehill, Co Cavan. For sale by private treaty with Sherry FitzGerald Declan Woods, the 70ac non-residential holding has all the infrastructural hallmarks of an established operation.
A working dairy for over seven decades, in recent years the holding has been used predominantly for drystock farming.
The roadside yard is equipped with a variety of livestock handling buildings.
Constructed in the late 1990s, a 12-unit modern herringbone-style parlour provides milking facilities for a mid-sized herd. Complementing this is ample winter housing in the form of a three bay double-sided slatted shed and four bay single-sided slatted shed.
Across the yard there is a cattle pen and handling area.
Ancillary buildings include a traditional stone outbuilding and the recently re-roofed byre, offering good storage space and potential scope for redevelopment.
Along the perimeter of the yard, there are two silage pits with plenty of space for machinery manoeuvring.
Arranged in two neat divisions intersected by a local road, the land is set in a series of well-proportioned fields that are easily accessible and are enclosed by mature hedgerows and stockproof fencing.
Located 5km west of the well-established market town of Cootehill, Co Cavan, the farm is within easy reach of a range of local amenities and services, including Cootehill Livestock Mart.
The larger towns of Cavan and Monaghan are both 25km away.
Guided at €900,000, the combination of modern dairy infrastructure and livestock accommodation make this an interesting opportunity. Auctioneer Declan Woods has already seen strong interest from several dairy farmers, and there have also been enquiries from established pig farmers and business people.
