Opportunity knocks in Mayo

A LOVELY 52.5ac non-residential farm at Kilmaine in Mayo, with a good range of modern sheds, is coming for sale by auction this Friday with a guide price of between €8,500 and €10,000/ac.

Located near Ballinrobe and Shrule, the property is at Fountain Hill, about 1km from Kilmaine and 10km from Headford.

It is described by Joe Wynne of Headford Mart Property Sales as a fine parcel of ground that will be sold in two lots. A 45ac parcel with a derelict house and farm buildings have limited road frontage sufficient for a dwelling. A 7.5ac portion has plenty of road frontage.

The land is described as the best of ground maintained to a very high standard, well fenced and in a high state of fertility. It comes with entitlements of €333 per unit. The shedding is modern and extensive and includes a four-column shed along with a three-column slatted house and a derelict house, the original farm dwelling.

Entitlements

The property will be sold in two lots with the 45ac piece, along with the buildings, making up one lot and including €333 per unit in entitlements.

There should be a firm possibility of obtaining planning permission for a residence with this portion given the presence of the old dwelling house.

The second lot, also with entitlements of €333 per unit, extends to 7.5ac and comes with generous road frontage .

The property will be sold at auction at the Angler’s Rest Hotel, Headford, at 3pm this Friday, September 28.
