‘Already established farm business’
This farm is presented to the market in excellent condition and offers a rare opportunity to the “forward-thinking farmer, young or more established”.
According to REA Peter Donohoe: “The location of the land, the fact that there is a pre-exisitng dwelling [currently uninhabitable] along with the extensive road frontage would allow for excellent residential site development [subject to planning permission].”
The farm at Egramush provides an excellent opportunity to acquire an “already established farm business”.
