A 98ac lakeside holding is on the market near Ballymahon, Co Longford.

This property is on the shore of Lough Ree, at Dernagallaigh, and is being sold by Savills. The location is 10km from Ballymahon and 26km from Longford and Athlone towns.

All in all it’s a great location. But the property also has approximately 1.5km of water frontage and a mooring point for boats. So, it’s no surprise the agents say it offers great opportunities for conservation and business diversification,

The ground is in permanent pasture.

The land lies in two blocks: the main one is c86ac and the smaller one is a single field of 12ac. The larger portion is laid out in well sized fields that are suited for large farm machinery.

There are mature hedges and good fencing. There are a number of internal roads giving access to fields.

There are also two farm sheds, one a six-bay cattle shed, with slats, and the other a hayshed with lean-to.

The land comes with entitlements to BISS scheme payments. The guide price is €850,000.
