Residential farm in Bailieboro to be auctioned off

An attractive 60-acre residential farm at Gartnaneane, Bailieborough, will go under the hammer next Friday, October 21 at 4pm in the Bailie Hotel, Bailieborough. The property is available for sale in one or five lots with a guide price of between €400,000 and €450,000. The property is that of the late Liam Farrell. It is described as an excellent quality residential farm with a well maintained residence. The land is "highly fertile" and "productive" in an excellent location, less than six kilometres from Bailieboro on the Kingscourt Road. The lands are laid out in good sized divisions and the property is a stocked proof farm with an abundance of road frontage. Lot one includes the entire property. Lot two comprises almost 13.5 acres with road frontage and good sheep handling facilities at the road side. The third lot extends to almost 35 acres with road frontage. There is a sheep handling unit with concreted holding pens and drafting chute and gate. A curving avenue through a small evergreen wood leads to what could be a really attractive residential site, subject to planning permission. Lot 4 includes the home farm with the residence and yard and extends to almost eleven acres with road frontage. Accommodation in the main residence includes an entrance hall, sitting room, kitchen with a Stanley oil cooker and WC. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms (all with built in wardrobes), a bathroom and a hotpress. The fifth lot is 0.7 acres with road frontage. This is a very attractive site surrounded by mature hedgerow and again would make an ideal site for a residence, subject to necessary planning permission. A wind turbine is excluded from the sale and there is a short access road over the lands with a right of way to the turbine site. There may be potential for further Airtricity turbines on these lands. Padraig Smith Auctioneers are handling the sale. Further information from 1890-444-555 or by emailing info@padraigsmith.com
