On the Cornagunleog Road, 6km from Bawnboy village in Co Cavan, sits an interesting opportunity. Located 450m apart on the same road, two residential farms with a similar footprint are for sale by private treaty with REA Donohoe Spring.
At 32.5ac, the first holding is well-suited as a starter farm. While the traditional 85sq m bungalow could benefit from some cosmetic updates, it is in good structural condition.
To the rear of the house, a divided holding yard offers handling facilities such as a five-bay dry-bedded shed with feed pass, a covered treatment yard, multiple livestock pens and several storage sheds.
Divided by the road, the land has 300m of frontage, with just more than 6ac of hillside meadow on one side which is currently grazed by sheep, and the remainder laid out in five meadows to the rear of the house. Guided in the region of €500,000 to €550,000, it offers plenty of potential.
Located 250m off the public road, the second farm, a 50ac holding, benefits from a more private setting.
Requiring modernisation throughout, the three-bedroom bungalow provides good scope for further expansion given its layout and configuration. Yard infrastructure includes a large haybarn with lean-to, a four-bay steel dry shed, cubicle house, and several traditional stone sheds.
Made up of five parcels in proximity, the land comprises 15ac of forestry, which is currently grand aided, and 34ac of meadow, suited to grazing sheep or cattle.
Guided in the region of €600,000, the farm can also be purchased in smaller lots, pending enquiry.
Interest in the two holdings has been strong from both young farmers looking for a foothold, and established farmers looking to expand.
