One thing is for sure in Ireland, when land comes up for sale in a certain area, it can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if you wish to purchase it. Rarely does a farm change hands twice in 10 years. However there are exceptions. A recently renovated farm in Westmeath is one such exception.

The property, which incorporates 83 acres in total, is located on the Westmeath side of the Westmeath-Longford border.

Situated in Collierstown, Ballymahon, the farm changed hands circa six years ago and over the course of the last two years, the current owner has invested in the holding, making it a very desirable property.

Every inch of the farm has been recently reseeded and fencing provisions have been improved, while an improved water supply has also been introduced. A roadway has also been installed on the farm, increasing practicality.

The current owner had the opportunity of purchasing a parcel of land closer to home, for this reason, they have decided to sell.

The farm is divided into three lots, the third being the entire. The individual lots are split by the road. The first offering is 57.5 acres. This is in five divisions and is in great order. The second lot is 25.5 acres and is in two fields.

Each lot is guided for between €7,000/ac and €8,000/ac, which is representative of the current market in the county.
