Lot: 2,
Forgney, Ballymahon, Co. Longford, N91V2X8
This superb farm is located in the historical area of Forney, Ballymahon on the Longford/Westmeath border with easy access to nearby towns and villages, making it a key point in the region. This top-class roadside farm is ready for immediate use and long term productivity and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-laid-out, highly functional farm with excellent accessibility, located just off the N55.
Offered in manageable lots of good-quality pasture, the land is ideal for both cattle and sheep enterprises and is supported by a comprehensive range of working farm buildings and a dormer-style bungalow on-site. The farm is divided into neat, well-fenced paddocks with minimal waste ground. The majority of the land is elevated and naturally free-draining, making it ideal for grazing, meadow or tillage production. Approximately 7 acres on the southern end would benefit from reseeding but hold strong potential once improved.
The property features well-designed infrastructure for livestock management, including a sheep handling and loading area conveniently located along the roadside. A selection of functional and robust farm buildings adds to the operational flexibility of the farm. These include a 4-bay round-roof hayshed with a double lean-to, 3-bay slatted shed with central passage, a range of dry and general-purpose storage sheds, meal bin, a silage slab with wing walls and quality cattle and sheep handling facilities
Farms of this calibre-combining quality land, strategic location, and extensive infrastructure-rarely come to the market in this area. Whether you're expanding an existing enterprise or seeking a standalone holding, this property offers immense potential for a wide range of agricultural uses including viable diary operations.
