Two separate pieces of land in the same ownership will appear for auction in the coming weeks, with both parcels heavily fancied to stir up some local interest. Seventy-nine acres at Derrygoony near Castleblaney, Co Monaghan, and circa 20 acres in Carrickcreeny near Shercock, Co Cavan, have come to the market in the last month. The sale is being handled by Crosbie and Graham of Cootehill, Co Cavan. Both properties are set to be auctioned on 2 March in the Crosbie and Graham office, with an expectation that the auction room will be vibrant.

79 acres in Derrygoony
The bigger of the two holdings, Derrygooney is located circa 12km from Cootehill and 20km from Castleblaney. Of the 79 acres, 58 acres are good agricultural land, with the balance 20 acres consisting of a lake.
The 58-acre parcel is good Monaghan ground, according to auctioneer Patrick Crosbie. Well laid out in four large divisions, it is described as good quality, with little waste. Leased out for the last number of years to a dairy man, the farm has been maintained in good condition. Nice work has been carried out on the lands over the last decade, with reseeding and ploughing undertaken – asnnoted by the auctioneer.
Offered in the entire, each division is well fenced and has a water supply. The lands are ready to use when the sale is closed. A shared laneway allows for good access. Guided at €8,000/acre, this parcel has seen attention mount from local farmers as the auction date looms closer.
20 acres in Cavan
Also offered on the day are circa 20 acres at Carrickcreeny. Located within 5km of Shercock, the parcel is in the same ownership as the property in Derrygoony. Both properties are situated within 10 minutes of one another.
This land is also in good condition, having been leased out for the last number of years to a drystock farmer in the locality. Fenced and with a water supply, this parcel is also ready to use once the sale is completed. Keenly guided at €7,000/acre, the holding is offered in the entire. Divided into four lots, laneway access is provided from a public road, but this could be improved. This property comes with a residence, but the building is in need of modernisation. Again, interest in the parcel has been high, predominantly from local farmers.
Speaking with Irish Country Living, Crosbie said: “They are a nice pair of parcels for a farmer starting out, or expanding their enterprise.” CL
