In a county like Kildare, where equestrian and prime agricultural land is held in the highest esteem, quality holdings in excess of 100ac are a rare find. That’s why this 149ac farm in Mynagh, Ellistown, is certain to draw attention.
Listed with Coonan Property, the holding is set to go under the hammer at public auction on Thursday 11 June in Lawlor’s Hotel, Naas, Co Kildare.
A key focal point for prospective buyers is expected to be the presence of a derelict two-bedroom cottage on the site, offering the potential for full redevelopment for a residential house, subject to planning permission. It is likely the cottage would qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG).
There are also several basic farm buildings across the holding, which, despite requiring refurbishment, offer scope for a range of agricultural or equestrian uses.
Having been farmed by the same family for several generations, the land was inherited by extended family members following the passing of the previous owner a number of years ago and has been in tillage since.

Road frontage
Laid out in a single block, the farm is set in seven large divisions for easy maintenance, and benefits from good free draining soil.
There is extensive road frontage along the L7008, and access to the M7 corridor, via junction 13 and 14, is just a 10-minute drive away. Situated between the towns of Kildare, Monasterevin, and Rathangan, Ellistown is serviced by excellent transport links and is within easy range of all key amenities.
The farm will be offered in three lots at auction. Potential buyers will have the flexibility to bid on a smaller 48ac parcel, a larger 101ac parcel which includes the residential building, and the farm in its entirety. All three combinations include road frontage.
The farm is well laid out with ample road frontage.
The scale of the holding along with its close proximity to the stud heartland of the Curragh makes it an equally attractive investment for commercial farmers, equestrian professionals and investors.
Auctioneer Philip Byrne believes that the scarcity in the market of larger holdings of quality agricultural land in Kildare will drive significant interest in the Mynagh farm at auction.
“There are very few farms over 100ac for sale this year. There is a demand for that,” he says.
Guided at €18,000/ac to €20,000/ac, the holding presents an interesting opportunity to purchase quality agricultural land at scale in a prime location.
The land is set out in seven well-defined divisions.
