Large 80ac holding near Ratoath is a rare offering

Coonan Property will bring an 80.6ac holding at Peacockstown, near Ratoath, Co Meath, to public auction in early May.

Blocks of this scale in this part of Meath do not come to market all that often, particularly with road frontage and in one holding.

The land is offered in four lots, or as one entire, which gives options depending on the buyer. The holding is all in grass and is in good order.

Fields are laid out in a series of practical divisions with mature hedgerows forming clear boundaries. The land is level and suited to grazing or cutting, with a layout that should be easy to manage.

There is extensive frontage onto the Kilbride Road, along with additional access from a cul de sac known locally as Brennan’s Lane. That second access point will be useful for moving stock or machinery across the farm.

Lot sizes range from 17.8ac up to 41.5ac, with the balance made up in the remaining divisions. The option to take the entire may appeal to those looking to secure a larger block in one purchase, while the smaller lots could suit local demand.

Ratoath is close by, with Ashbourne around 5km from the lands.

The holding is less than 20km from Dublin city and sits within reach of the M2 and M3 motorways. The M3 Parkway rail link at Dunboyne is also nearby. The Kilbride Road frontage may offer potential for a one-off dwelling, subject to planning permission.

The auction will take place at 3pm on Thursday 7 May in the Glenroyal Hotel, Maynooth, Co Kildare.

The lands are guided in the region of €20,000/ac to €25,000/ac.
