58.5ac non-residential holding in Westmeath, with 25ac of forestry, guided at €600,000

In view of the top prices being paid for Leinster land of late, a range of properties across the province are coming to auction in the next few weeks with conservative price estimates from €8,000/ac to €12,000/ac.

This Thursday, June 2, Murtagh Bros are selling an 84ac non-residential farm at Corry, Rathowen, Co Westmeath in an online auction.

The property includes 58.5ac of grazing ground with a range of farm buildings and a parcel of 25.5ac of forestry.

The entire is guided at €600,000.

Located 16km west of Mullingar and 1.6km off the N4 Sligo road, the holding will be sold in two lots or as an entire.

The 58.5ac is laid out in eight fields of good grazing ground fenced by traditional hedgerow. It has limited road frontage but enough for a site or two.

The yard is made up of a four-column haybarn with a double-breasted, slatted lean-to that includes a feeding passage.

There is also a standalone four-column dry shed, a number of other storage buildings, cattle-handling facilities and a derelict house.

This portion is guided at €500,000.

The 25.5ac of mixed spruce forestry was planted 22 years ago and, while out of premium, the mature timber will be valuable.

Guided at €100,000, the parcel is accessed by right of way through the 58.5ac portion and bounds the River Inny at the rear.

The holding will be sold at online auction on the LSL platform at 3pm this Thursday, May 2.
