A 67ac residential farm in the east of Co Galway has recently come on the market with Ballinasloe based auctioneer Joseph Naughton.

The property at Lenafin, Ahascragh is for sale by private treaty and includes some farm buildings along with a bungalow. Location wise, it is 7km from both Ballinasloe and Ahascragh.

Principally grassland, this farm is in two parcels a short distance apart. The larger one stands at 60ac and is divided into a number of adjoining fields. About 10ac of this block would be considered rougher ground.

The yard on the 60ac block is accessed via a hardcore laneway that leads to a yard with slatted shed and silage slab.

The main block of 60ac is divided int a number of fields with mature hedgerows as forming the boundaries.

There is also a two-bay slatted shed and a silage slab which are accessed via a hardcore roadway on this land.

These 60ac are guided in the region of €6,000/ac to €8,000/ac. The house sits on an acre of ground and is a roadside residence situated about 400m from the larger part of the farm.

Built in 1974, it contains four bedrooms and is in good condition. It has been vacant in recent years and should be eligible for the €50,000 Vacant

Property Refurbishment Grant

To the rear there are a number of storage sheds including a small round-roof hayshed. There is a 6ac field alongside the house and an option to purchase this separately, if desired.

The residence set on an acre has a guide of €200,000 or €260,000 if the prospective buyer wishes to add the 6ac field to the side and rear of the house to their purchase.
