A 70ac residential farm at Knockmore, Kilmaley, Ennis, Co Clare has just come on the market with Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon.

Predominantly made up of some excellent quality pasture land, the Inch River flows along three sides of the boundary of this farm. As a result, some of the fields are slightly heavier than those closer to the yard and are best suited to summer grazing.

The land at Knockmore, Kilmaley, Co Clare is all in one block.

The house and yard are on an elevated site that give the property good views over the surrounding countryside.

About six acres of the farm were planted in forestry in 2013 and there is an annual premium of €900 on this. There are also BISS entitlements of approximately €10,000 per year included in the sale.

Perched on a drumlin, at the centre of the holding, the house and yard are located at the end of a private shared laneway and are on an elevated site.

This elevated location gives it good views over the surrounding Clare countryside and the land falls gently away there.

Concrete yard

The traditional farmhouse has four bedrooms.

A four-bay slatted house is the main building in the yard and there are a selection of other outbuildings and a confined concrete yard also available.

The residence comprises of a traditional two-story farmhouse with four bedrooms, extending to 103 sq m.

It is occupied and has been well maintained but would benefit from modernisation in terms of energy efficiency. It has PVC double-glazed windows and there is ample space for extension, if desired.

The bedrooms are on the first floor while the accommodation on the ground floor consists of a kitchen/ dining room, living room and bathroom.

A short distance from the village of Kilmaley, the property is located just 550m from the R474 Miltown Malbay road and is only a 15-minute drive from Ennis.

Auctioneer Diarmuid McMahon says: “This property has been carefully maintained by the family over a number of generations.

“It’s for sale by private treaty and it has a guide price of €695,000.”
