AUCTION – 40 Acres @ Blackstep, Bailieborough. Co. Cavan

40-ACRE RESIDENTIAL FARM WITH GRAZING LAND, FORESTRY, FARMYARD AND POTENTIAL RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY, CONVENIENTLY LOCATED NEAR CANNINGSTOWN AND BAILIEBOROUGH

Smith Property are pleased to present for sale by public auction this attractive 40-acre farm at Blackstep, Bailieborough, County Cavan. The property is offered for sale on the instructions of the executors of the estate of the late Daniel Clark, deceased.

Contained within Folios CN4898 and CN4895, the property comprises approximately 40 acres of mixed-quality agricultural land and forestry, all arranged in one convenient block. The holding includes approximately 9.22 hectares of grazing land, incorporating a bog plot extending to approximately 0.23 hectares, together with approximately 7.01 hectares of established forestry comprising a mixture of softwood and hardwood species.

The lands are considered to be in good heart and benefit from a private laneway leading to a centrally positioned farmyard. The yard includes cattle-handling facilities, a substantial dry storage shed and a secondary outbuilding, providing useful accommodation for agricultural and storage purposes.

The mature and private setting surrounding the farmyard may offer potential for the development of a one-off rural dwelling, subject to the applicant satisfying the relevant local-need criteria and obtaining the necessary planning permission from Cavan County Council.

The grazing lands and forestry adjoin one another, creating a compact and manageable holding that should appeal to farmers, forestry investors and purchasers seeking a versatile rural property.

The farm enjoys a convenient location just off the R191 Bailieborough Cootehill Road, less than 2km from the junction at Canningstown village and within easy reach of Bailieborough, Cootehill and the surrounding agricultural hinterland.

This is one of the most appealing holdings of its kind to come to the market in the region for some time and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, well-positioned block of land in a highly regarded and convenient locality.

The entire holding is offered for sale in one lot.
