A 79ac farm with a decent cattle yard and a particularly nice farmhouse is on the market near Foxford, Co Mayo. It’s at Ballinisland and is being sold by Sherry Fitzgerald Feeney West. The farm is going for online auction next month.
Ballinisland is a good all-round location, sitting between Foxford, Swinford and Castlebar. It’s 5.5km from Foxford, 10km from Swinford and 18km from busy Castlebar.
The land is fenced for stock.
The farm is 1km off the N58 main road, on a good local road. The farm is in one working unit, but divided by the public road. The house and most of the land are on one side, with a smaller block – about 12ac and including the yard – facing it from across the road. This smaller block also has frontage on to another public local road, so in all the farm has plenty of road frontage.
The land is all in permanent pasture and is generally good quality with most of it level. The farm has frontage on to a small river which in turn feeds into the nearby River Moy.
The kitchen with stove.
The farmyard is 75m up the road from the farmhouse. It has a three bay double slatted shed which is of modern design and is in good condition. It has apex ventilation, and sliding doors, among other amenities. Beside the shed is a yard area with gates which serves as a holding pen, and a chute with headgate. There is also a storage shed.
However, the highlight of this property is the stylish house. It is nicely set back from the road, about 30m, with a large lawn area in front and with a wall at the roadside. Two driveways give access from the road. The house is screened and sheltered by a nice mix of mature trees; providing privacy. It’s a nice setting.
The bedrooms are spacious.
The two-storey house is in very good condition. It’s spacious at 2,760 square feet (258 square meters) and the five bedrooms are generously sized. There are high ceilings throughout, adding to the sense of space.
Downstairs there is a sitting room with open fire and a dining room. The open plan kitchen is centred around a Stanley insert stove and is located toward the rear of the house. Just off the kitchen is a sunroom with large glass windows. There is also a utility room, storage room, bathroom and one en-suite bedroom downstairs.
Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, two of them en-suite, one with walk-in-wardrobe, and a bathroom which also has direct access to one of the bedrooms.
As well as lawn area, the garden has mature shrubs and good hedging.
Given its size, good all-round land, good farmyard and nice house, this property will generate plenty of interest. It goes for online auction on Friday, 7 July at 10am. The sale is being handled by auctioneer Nuala Feeney.
