Thomas J. Cox & Co. has been privileged to receive instructions from the Legal Personal Representatives in the Estate of the late James McRedmond to offer for sale this maturing forest all in one division and situate in the idyllic location of Curragh, Cadmastown, Birr, Co. Offaly at the foot of the Slieve Blooms and the Banks of the Silver River.
This picturesque forest is situated approximately 20km from the county town of Tullamore and 6km from historic Kinnity, along with having the Cadamstown Trailhead on your doorstep, which is the starting point for two beautiful looped walks along the Silver River and into the Slieve Blooms.
