Ready-to-go farm for €1.3m plus

A c83.8ac farm with a stylish house and a fine, big farmyard is on the market in east Co Galway – and likely to attract plenty of farmer interest.

The holding is at Rabbitpark, close to the village of Creggs. It is being sold by John Roche Auctioneering by private treaty. The guide price for the entire is in excess of €1.3m.

Creggs has the services needed for day-to-day family life: a shop, petrol station, church, primary school, pub and sports clubs.

The property for sale is 800m from the village, on the R362 Glenamaddy Road. So, it’s a convenient location. The farm has good frontage on to the public road.

It’s also a fine farm. It has been rented out for some years to a dairy farmer and is in good condition. It’s in one block and in permanent pasture.

The house is in good condition throughout. It is spacious at approximately 1,650 sq ft in area. It has a kitchen, dining room, two living rooms and three bedrooms.

Significant improvements have been made – as well as double-glazed windows, it has attic and cavity wall insulation and a new condensing oil boiler.

The property has a BER energy rating of D1. There is a monitored alarm/fire alarm system.

The house requires redecoration and perhaps some modernising, according to a new owner’s tastes and budget. With some work, this will be a really nice family home.

Meanwhile, outside there are well-maintained lawns and hedges, car parking, and a separate turf shed. Water is provided by a private well with a UV filter system. Broadband availability in the area is excellent, according to the agents.

The farmyard is large, well-maintained and has its own entrance.

There are three main sheds. These are a three-bay, double slatted house with a creep area; a four-bay hayshed, and a four-bay shed with lean-to. There is also a cattle handling pen.

There is large, open concrete area around the sheds. Everything is in good working condition.

This property is being offered in three lots:
