Just five weeks since it was brought to market, a 557ac Mayo farm has been declared sale agreed. The hill farm, all in one block, has been farmed as a sheep farm and is described by the selling agent as being in immaculate condition.
From the outset, this property received international interest. It is located 20km from Wesport, in the Sheeffrey Mountains. The sale includes entitlements worth €24,170/year and was guided at €695,000.
There is a three-bedroom bungalow on the property.
Sole selling agent Olivia Needham, Castlebar, said that she had over 100 enquiries about the property. She said that she received a lot of phone calls from forestry companies, as well as international buyers.
Over the selling period, there were between 20 and 25 viewings conducted, and depending on the fitness of the viewer, they took anything from four to seven hours.
