Lot: 4, Creevaghmore, Ballymahon, Co. Longford


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.
This attractive lot comprises approximately 30 acres of quality agricultural land, with an additional c.2 acres falling within the Forney Development Envelope, as outlined in the Longford County Development Plan 2021-2027.
The lands benefit from strong road frontage and excellent sight lines, offering ease of access and long-term potential. While the majority of the holding is suited to productive agricultural use, the portion located within the designated development envelope presents an exciting opportunity.
According to the Development Plan, these areas are earmarked for small-scale residential development that reflects the character of the existing settlement. This zoning is intended to relieve pressure on rural one-off housing and support local housing needs€"making the lands well-positioned for future planning consideration, subject to the appropriate permissions.
