Headed for auction with Jordans auctioneers on Wednesday 23 September in the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge, Co Kildare, is a 55ac farm with residential potential at Thomastown, Kilcullen.

Split into two adjacent parcels, the holding will be offered as a whole, guided at €570,000, or in individual lots, with the 50.5ac parcel guided at €500,000 and the 4.5ac plot at €70,000.

At the centre of the main block is a traditional derelict cottage and farmyard, equipped with a four-span haybarn with lean-to, as well as a range of ancillary farm sheds.

While requiring refurbishment, the existing buildings form a solid footprint with scope for the development of a new residence and modern yard, subject to the necessary permissions.

Divided into several good-sized fields, the adjoining land is set in permanent pasture with mature hedgerows and established trees providing shelter and boundaries.

Comprising mainly of productive grazing land, the parcel also includes a small portion of lower-lying ground presenting scope for improvement.

Set on an incline, the plot is well-suited to equestrian use and could accommodate a gallop or training facilities. Adjacent to the main block is the 4.5ac parcel, which benefits from dual frontage onto two roads. While it would make a useful addition to the main holding for agricultural purposes, it also offers site potential, subject to planning.

Yard facilities include a four-span haybarn with lean-to. While requiring refurbishment, the existing buildings provide a strong footprint for redevelopment.

Situated 7km from the town of Kilcullen, the farm is convenient to the M7 and M9 motorways, providing good access to Kildare town and the wider region.

Set in a productive farming and bloodstock region known for tillage, livestock and equestrian enterprises, the holding’s accessibility and road frontage will appeal to expanding farmers, equestrian interests and investors alike.
