Inviting proposals, auctioneer, Cathal Meares said both long-term and short-term options are available for the ground.

“This is, without doubt, one of the larger farms to come to the rental market in the Castleplunkett/ Castlerea area in recent times.

“It represents a rare and outstanding opportunity for both established farmers seeking to expand and new farming entrants looking to operate a farm of real scale. While not contained in one single block, the land is laid out in a number of adjacent, well-proportioned plots.”

He is guiding it in the region of €300/ac or a rent of €49,500 annually.

The same auctioneers also have a 45.3ac farm close to the village of Clonbern, Co Galway available to lease.

Guided at a similar price per acre, the land is in one block and suitable for grass or tillage.
