Just launched on the market is a 228ac non-residential farm in Hollymount, Co Mayo. For sale by private treaty, the land is set out in a single block of well-divided fields enclosed by secure post-and-rail fencing.
At the centre of the holding, there are a selection of traditional farm sheds and outhouses along with two derelict buildings which offer potential for residential conversion, subject to planning.
The parcel benefits from a reliable water supply and has decent frontage along the main public road, with an additional access point onto a second minor road.
Actively farmed with cattle and sheep, the holding includes 195ac of good grazing land, with the remainder comprising mixed-quality ground and forestry.
“It’s the crème de la crème, the Golden Vale of Co Mayo,” says auctioneer Kevin Beirne, who is handling the sale.
Situated in one of east Mayo’s most productive hinterlands, the holding is just 10 minutes from the village of Hollymount, Co Mayo, and 20 minutes from Ballinrobe and Claremorris, putting a range of retail, leisure and agricultural amenities in easy reach. Guided in the region of €2.2m, equating to just over €9,500/ac, the farm is expected to attract strong interest both nationally and internationally, with enquiries already received from local buyers and further afield.
While the holding might suit a single operator looking for scale, several sizeable dairy enterprises in the locality may also see an opportunity to acquire the land collectively and divide it between them.
