A compact farm in north Galway has just come on the market and has attracted strong interest thus far to the point where it is presently under offer.
Listed with joint agents, Duffy Auctioneers and Mullery Auctioneers, this property is for sale by private treaty.
An executor sale, the 24.5ac farm at Ballyfruit, Headford, Co Galway has road frontage on to the N84 road that links Castlebar and Galway, and a local road and is just 1km from the centre of Headford.
All in one block, bounded by dry limestone walls and with piped water laid on, the land is laid out in 10 separate fields of varying sizes. Guiding the land at €10,000/ac, auctioneer, Paul Duffy said: “While it’s currently in permanent pasture, this land is of arable quality with a good depth of soil. In the days gone by this land produced a bumper crop of beet supplying the well-known sugar factory in Tuam.
“This is a rare opportunity for neighbouring farmers to expand their holding or those seeking a prime farm that is suitable for many farm enterprises.”
Along with the land there is an option to purchase an adjoining three-bedroom cottage that also has a kitchen/living area, a sitting room and bathroom.
Eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG), the house is in good condition with double glazed PVC windows and doors as well as oil-fried central heating. The house is guided in the region of €180,000.

The 24.5ac farm is just 1km from the centre of Headford, Co Galway.
