Aresidential property spanning 86ac in west Clare has recently been placed on the market with GVM Auctioneers. Almost half way between Kilkee and Doonbeg on the N67 road, this farm is available in four separate lots.

It’s for sale by private treaty and is an appealing offering with Lot 1 in particular being a stand out. It consists of 49.2ac on one block with the residence and yard hugging the Wild Atlantic Way.

Good quality land, with some of it fronting onto the road, it’s well laid out in easily managed divisions, is fenced and has a water supply.

In turnkey condition, the bungalow has four bedrooms and has been well-maintained. Benefiting from a south facing aspect, it contains a well-proportioned living space and has ample parking outside.

Sitting astride the Wild Atlantic Way, the dwelling has four bedrooms.

Close to the dwelling, the yard contains an array of outhouses that include a pair of stables, a tack room and two storage sheds. The largest structure is a three-bay double-sided slatted shed with accommodation for roughly 50 cattle. There is also a four-column hayshed which has been used as a machinery shed. Within the confines of the yard there is a small paddock which could be used as an area for exercising a horse.

A small paddock near the stables would make an ideal horse exercising area.

Situated at Carrowblough More, Lot 2 consists of 19ac that is described as the best of the land in the property that is for sale. Guided at €175,000, this grazing land is in one block and laid out in a number of good-sized fields and has a water supply. An added bonus here is the presence of cattle handling facilities in the centre of the main bunch of fields.

A three-bay double sided slatted house has accommodation for 50 head of cattle.

The balance of the land is included in two smaller lots. Located at Tullaher, Lot 3 contains 16ac of mixed quality land with roughly 5ac in grass and the balance rougher grazing. It is guided at €50,000. There is a 1.6ac roadside field at Bansha in Lot 4, and this has a guide of €15,000.

There are cattle handling facilities in Lot 2 along with 19ac.

Just 4km north of Kilkee, it’s 6km from Doonbeg, and the road network leading to this farm could see this property being a useful asset to any farming family looking to pick up an existing residence rather than go through the costs of the planning and building process. The presence of a yard with slurry storage is another agricultural asset this property has.

Auctioneer Tom Crosse said there has been good early interest.

“It’s a smashing beef, dairying or equestrian farm or for those seeking an extension to an existing enterprise.

“The overall land quality in the main is good with a very well maintained residence and yard and there’s been a number of early enquiries since it came on the market.”

Lot 4 consists of 1.6ac.
