REMAX Team Earley has a farm for long-term lease in Co Roscommon that is certainly going to get farmers in the vicinity pondering possibilities for it over the Christmas break.

The 177ac non-residential farm at Carrownrinny is a top-quality modern farm that is almost all in one block.

A roadway connects the main part of 158ac, with the balance of 19ac.

Well fenced and all in grass, this farm is laid out in paddocks that are serviced with water and a central farm roadway.

There’s a substantial spacious farmyard too and within it there are a pair of six-bay slatted sheds - one is single-sided and the other is a double.

Livestock handling facilities, a large silage slab, a pair of meal bins and a two-bay hayshed with lean-to are also in the main yard. There’s also a smaller yard closer to the road which contains a three-bay sheep shed.

Just five minutes from Tulsk where the N61 and N5 roads meet, this farm is accessed off the N61 road and that road network could put this farm on the radar of more than a few interested parties.

Set up as a drystock farm, there is ample slurry storage and good infrastructure, so don’t rule out the possibility of a dairy unit being set up here.

There’s an annual rent in excess of €50,000 expected on this super farm so be budgeting in the region of €300/ac to €350/ac.

Auctioneer Cathal Meares said: “This is without doubt one of the finest farms in the Tulsk district to come to the rental market and it offers a brilliant opportunity to existing farmers and new farming entrants to operate a top of the range farm. We’re considering a term of anywhere from five to ten years for this farm.”

There is also the option of leasing the entitlements.
