DNG Royal County are selling a circa 58ac potentially residential farm at Ethelstown, Kells, Co Meath at public auction in late November.

Described as top-quality farmland suitable for any farming enterprise, the main tract of land is laid out in five divisions with mature hedgerows forming the boundaries.

Something that might add an extra bit of interest is the presence of a detached derelict dwelling and some farm buildings. These are close to the roadside and the house is likely to qualify for the derelict top-up of €20,000 on the €50,000 Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.

A three-bay hayshed with lean-to is the main building in the yard. It has 300m of road frontage onto the cul-de-sac and there is a natural water supply present on the land.

The land is currently all in grass and is described as being suitable for any enterprise.

This holding is located about 800m off the N52. It is roughly 4km southwest of the Meath town of Kells.

Additionally, there is a portion of bogland in the adjoining Girly Bog included in the sale. This comprises of approximately 4.6ac

There is a guide price of €12,000/ac on this farm.

Given it’s a significant block of land together, there should be good interest so don’t be surprised if this is surpassed. The auction takes place at 2pm on Tuesday, 26 November in the Headfort Arms Hotel, Kells, Co Meath.
