‘Real gem of a farm’
The second of the properties up for sale through Martin Shortt Auctioneers is a 69ac farm at Graftonstown, Bracklyn, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath.
The property is in “excellent condition”, according to the auctioneers, and would suit as a tillage, dairy, beef, sheep or equestrian enterprise.
This farm is currently laid out in one large block of flat ground, with “not an inch of waste”. Furthermore it is well fenced and the river forms one of the boundaries.
It is currently laid out in grass with a healthy crop of silage lying in wait; while some of the adjoining lands are laid out in tillage also.
It is considered as a “real gem of a farm” because of the quality of this rich soil combined with contract fencing.
In addition to the farmland, there are three bay sheds with a double lean-to and yard present.
Lastly, there is ample road frontage with the property and it has potential for a residential farm subject to planning permission.
The property at Graftonstown is guiding at €600,000. Further information can be found on: www.property.ie.
