Good-quality land rarely arrives on the market around Claremorris, making the sale of a compact circa 32-acre residential holding at Monard, Mayo Abbey, Claremorris, an interesting proposition for any local farmer or prospective purchaser.
Less than a mile off the main Castlebar/Claremorris road at Brize, the Monard property comes to the market with a three-bedroom bungalow residence, some traditional outhouses and entitlements to the value of €2,808 (for 2016).
It’s understood that a steady level of inquiries have been received by selling agent Peter Tuohy from Tuohy O’Toole, Westport and Castlebar, but no solid bids have been placed on the table just yet.
With circa 450 metres of frontage to a local road, the 32 acres at Monard extends out in a conical-shaped block of about five fields behind the house and yard.
Used over the years for drystock, the land is described as “very good quality for the area” and is suitable for both meadowing and silage cutting.
Built in the 1950s, the bungalow residence features a hipped slate roof, PVC gutters and double-glazed windows. Although in need of modernisation, the accommodation includes kitchen, living room with Stanley range, bathroom and three bedrooms.
In addition, there is a good-sized attic offering the potential for conversion subject to the appropriate planning permission. Outside, there are a range of traditional outhouses along with a crush and pen.
For sale by private treaty, Monard is being offered in its entire or in two separate lots that include the bungalow residence on 0.6 acres (guided at €89,000) and circa 31.3 acres, respectively.
Given the quality of the land on offer, the 31.3 acres is guided at €340,000 or almost €11,000/acre, which clearly represents the upper end of the agricultural land market for Co Mayo.
