Previously unsold earlier this year, Quinn Property are now offering a farmhouse, yard and 43ac for sale by private treaty at Carnon, Rathdangan, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow.

The farmhouse with five bedrooms is traditional stone-built property which was extended in recent years. It has two separate entrances with accommodation laid out in a manner that would allow for a main residence and a second area which may be suitable for conversion to a granny flat or holiday let.

With concerns around slurry storage to the fore in farming circles and factoring in the cost of planning and constructing new storage, a modern farmyard such as this with a slurry tower with capacity for 360,000 gallons is likely to appeal. It may also suit a dairy farmer who could winter or even calf some of his stock at this yard or use it as a heifer and young stock rearing holding.

Among the facilities, there is a 12-unit Dairymaster milking unit with automatic feeders, a cattle crush, ample cubicle spaces, three feed bins and a workshop.

Auctioneer, David Quinn says: “This was part of a larger 160ac holding that was offered at auction in May. It was offered in three lots, two of which sold and as the vendors would like to bring this to a close, we’re disclosing the reserve of €750,000. It has received interest since the auction.”
