A farm with cattle yard and farmhouse, all in tip-top condition, is on the market in north Co Longford. The 37ac holding at Gaigue, near Ballinamuck, is being sold via Murtagh Bros next month. The guide price for the entire is in the region of €600,000.
Many of the farms, yards and farmhouses put on the market each year require a good freshening up, particularly where the owner was retired from active farming for a few years. Not so at Gaigue, Ballinamuck – it’s rare to see a farmyard as spic and span.
The house is spacious with five bedrooms.
The farm is located on the L1025 local road, 2km from Ballinamuck village where you can get day-to-day essentials. It’s 6km from Drumlish, 17km from Granard and 18km from Longford town. The farm is in one unit but is divided by the public road into a number of divisions. In total it has close to 1km of road frontage.
