Mullingar-based James L. Murtagh Auctioneers is sure to tempt livestock farmers of all persuasions in the run-up to Christmas as it prepares to auction a 143ac model farm guided at €1.9m. Located at Coolnahay, Slanemore, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, about 10km west of the town, this substantial holding lies in an area renowned for its top-quality farmland.
This is a dream offering for any livestock farmer, a grassland holding in one block with excellent infrastructure and well laid out. The land is all in one block and laid out in six well-organised divisions, all of which are in permanent pasture.
Excellent quality land with minimal waste, the holding is fenced throughout for cattle and has a water supply in every division with an internal farm roadway leading from the yard allowing for ease of management across the farm.
It will be offered in lots or in its entirety, with the entire listed as Lot 3. The bulk of the land, 83ac and the yard and farm buildings are included in Lot 1, while the balance of the land, 60.5ac is included in Lot 2.
The 143ac farm at Coolnahay, Slanemore, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath sells at auction in December.
Modern livestock yard
Well maintained by the vendors, the yard presents the future purchaser with the chance to buy an excellent example of a modern livestock yard, which is accessible just off a public road. It contains accommodation for 200 head of cattle and has plenty of room for machinery to operate in.
Well-equipped, it features 18 bays of slatted accommodation, a dry-bedded shed, a concrete yard and a walled silage slab.
Seen principally as a non-residential holding, there is a derelict cottage present which could be suitable for refurbishment with the help of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG). Alternatively, it could be incorporated into plans for a future residence on the farm.
The yard has accommodation for 200 head of cattle.
Also included is a 6ac forestry plantation. Primarily Sitka spruce with some alder, it is believed to be approximately 22 years old.
Auctioneer, Padraic Murtagh, says: “Preliminary visual inspections suggest that the majority, if not all, of the plantation may be suitable for harvesting, potentially providing an immediate income opportunity. However, prospective purchasers are advised to carry out their own due diligence to confirm this.”
This farm benefits from about 1km of road frontage with five separate access points along its western and northwestern boundaries. On its southwestern boundary, it fronts onto the Royal Canal.
Overall, this is a prime, high-quality holding in the heart of Westmeath, well-farmed, well-laid out, and ready for immediate use.
This property is guided at €1.9m. The auction takes place at 3.30pm on Wednesday 17 December in the Greville Arms Hotel, Mullingar and online on the LSL Auctions platform.
The yard is a stand-out feature of this excellent property.
