A circa 44ac residential farm close to the border of Westmeath and Offaly is reported to have attracted very strong interest to date. For sale by private treaty, the property at Monasset, Rahugh, Kilbeggan, Co Westmeath is listed with auctioneer, Dan Scally.

The lands are described as top quality, suitable for grass or tillage and they have been eased for a number of years and maintained to a high standard by the tenants.

Workshop

While it hasn’t been lived in for many years, the bungalow is in relatively good condition and presents a good opportunity for someone to purchase a home and put their own stamp on it without having to go through the process of applying for planning permission on a green field site.

As the house hasn’t had anyone living in it for a number of years, it is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant of €50,000.

Close to the house there is an extensive workshop, a round roof hayshed with lean-to and a number of other buildings.
