Roscommon-based auctioneer, Padraig McNeill has recently brought a 79.6ac residential farm in the county to market.

Located at Hollywell, Cooltigue, Fourmile House, the house and yard are in a private setting set back from a local road. They are accessed via a laneway that is over 600m long.

From the entrance, it’s just 2km to the N61 road. If you head north, it’s just over 2km to Fourmile House and going south, it’s less than 7km to Roscommon town.

Described as medium quality, the land is suitable for a variety of agricultural activities and has the advantage of being in one block. Also included is 43.8ac of bog which is a short distance away from the main farm. In the centre of the holding there is a round roof hayshed with lean-to.

To the rear of the house, the yard’s standout feature is a large steel, arched tunnel, which offers substantial space ideal for a farm nursery, equestrian or other agricultural uses.

There is also a cattle crush and multiple stone-built storage sheds, some of which may be suitable for renovation using the Traditional Farm Buildings Grant Scheme which has a ceiling of €30,000.

The residence consists of a small bungalow that hasn’t been lived in for a number of years. This should make the property eligible for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Garnt (VPRG). It is also eligible for Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) grants. Inside the house there is a living room/dining room, a kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms.

Offers in excess of €500,000 will be considered for this farm.
