Farming life offers many positives for your day-to-day living away from the hustle and noise of town and city life. And peace and privacy are among the advantages of a fine tillage farm that has come on the market in Co Kildare.
The holding is at Dreenane, Carbury – it extends to c102ac and comes with a modern, spacious house. The farm is on the market with Coonan Property. It’s going for public auction and the guide price is €1.35m.
The property is in a convenient location. It sits on the L5022, known as the Back Road, about 1.5km from Derrinturn village where there are shops and services for everyday needs. The nearest sizeable town is Edenderry which is 10km away. The farm is about 15km from Enfield and the M4 motorway at Junction 9, a drive of about 15 minutes.
This is an interesting part of the country. Stretches of top-quality farmland lie side by side with areas of excellent deep peat bog. There is a long tradition in the wider area of harvesting this peat for electricity production, for heating homes and for horticultural composts. That use is of course now changing and other futures beckon for bogland.
Farming area
The house sits 200m back from the public road, ensuring privacy. But it still has nice views over the adjacent fields.
Farming, however, continues as normal beside it – and includes tillage, dairy, drystock, horticulture and equine.
The farm for sale consists of one large block which is mainly in tillage with a portion of grass. It is divided into eight main fields, all of regular shape. The majority of it is nice, productive, free draining land. The property has about 300m of frontage on the L5022 and it also comes with a small parcel of bog some distance away.
The house and small farmyard are together and situated near one end of the holding. The house lies at the end of a 200m avenue and so is well off the public road, giving plenty of privacy. To the side of the avenue, there is a line of imposing, mature trees.
Inside the house is clean and bright.
The bedrooms have solid wood flooring. One is ensuite with shower and toilet.
The living room with open fireplace.
The house was built 25 years ago and is in very good condition. It is a dormer bungalow, nicely spacious at 2,411 sq ft in area. There is a large living room with an open fireplace; a kitchen with a spacious dining area alongside, where there is a stove, and six bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite. There are another two bathrooms, the main upstairs and the other on the ground floor.
Outside the house there is a large parking area and simple gardens, laid down to lawn and shrubs. The yard is about 30m away but well screened off. It has an old two-bay hayshed and traditional cattle sheds. The yard has an electrical connection.
The farm has been in the one family’s ownership for a number of generations. It is now being sold as part of an executors’ sale.
The auction will take place on Thursday, 20 March in the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth, Co Kildare at 3pm.
