A 60ac residential farm in Co Cavan has recently come on the market with Kells-based auctioneer Robert Nixon.

The land is currently in grass and suitable for any livestock enterprise. It was leased out to a dairy farmer in recent years who minded the land well.

An executor sale, the land at Brookville, Cornaslieve, Virginia is being offered in lots and is for sale by private treaty.

Lot 1 contains circa 47.8ac, and this lot contains the residence and a range of farm buildings including two three-bay slatted cattle sheds. One of which is double sided while the other is single sided and has a creep area. Also, within the yard there is a silage base and a range of other old stone-built buildings.
