Smith Property has a tidy 28.8ac farm going under the hammer at the end of the month in Co Cavan.

All in one block, the land at Ardlougher, Ballinagh is currently laid out in grass and is ideal for silage and grazing. It is subdivided into 10 separate fields with mature trees and hedgerows providing very defined boundaries which are securely fenced.

There are two access points to the property and a central gravel passageway leads to the remains of a dwelling, which occupies an attractive position on the site. A ruin, it may offer an opportunity for someone to obtain planning permission for a house. It could potentially qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant too.

Ideally located, this property is situated just 4km off the main N55 road and is less than 10 minutes’ drive from Ballinagh while Cavan town and Kilnaleck are both only 9km away.

Auctioneer, Raymond Smith, said: “The land has been well tended to and this is a rare chance to acquire a versatile and sizeable property in a prime location with significant potential for various uses.”

He also confirmed that there are BISS entitlements worth approximately €1,100 included in the sale.

The property is for sale by online auction only and on Thursday, 28 November at 12 noon on the LSL platform.
