Described as a brilliant location, Fox & Gallagher brings to the market an ‘outstanding’ residential farm comprising 65ac of agricultural land and a number of outbuildings for sale at Garranard, Crossmolina, Co. Mayo.

This is a “rare opportunity to acquire one of the best residential farms in this particular area”, according to the agent. The area is convenient to Lough Conn and has “spectacular” views to Mount Nephin.

The land is located: off the N-59, within walking distance to Crossmolina town centre; 15 minutes walk to Gortnor Abbey Pie; and 15 minutes driving to Ballina.

Residential House

Lot 1, which is the residential house, is on circa 1.5ac, with a number of agricultural buildings.

Originally built in 1920, the house is “well-maintained” externally and internally. However, the house internally requires some refurbishment and modernisation.

The house contains double-glazed windows and oil-fired central heating throughout.

Contained within the house is: a front porch, which leads to a bright reception area; an entrance hallway with concrete flooring; a sitting room with an open fireplace and coving throughout; a living room with a stove; a kitchen; a landing; four bedrooms – two with a fireplace and one with two built-in wardrobes and a sink; and a bathroom.
