Description

James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to present this compact c.24 acre roadside holding at Macetown, Co. Westmeath, for sale by public and online auction. Nestled in the heart of a renowned agricultural district, this holding offers an opportunity to acquire approximately 24 acres of majority productive farmland in a prime rural location. The lands are clearly defined by mature hedgerows and natural boundaries, offering excellent shelter and enhancing the visual appeal of the property. The farm is laid out in two well-proportioned, easily managed divisions one in rich, permanent pasture and the other a mixed area with lighter vegetation and overgrowth, suitable for a variety of agricultural uses or future improvement. The plot to the west, in particular, may hold strong potential for afforestation, subject to the necessary approvals. With appropriate assessment, it could suit a range of forestry types from native broadleaf woodland to commercial conifer planting making it attractive for those considering sustainable land use or entry into forestry grant schemes. With some attention in terms of reclamation, drainage and reseeding this plot could also be brought back to productive use. The lands are gently undulating and enjoy excellent natural drainage, with fertile soil well-suited to grazing, silage production, and potential tillage. The farm boasts substantial road frontage along a secluded, hard core local road, providing convenient access for machinery and livestock. With established internal divisions and secure fencing, the holding is ready for immediate use and would integrate seamlessly into an existing farming operation. Given its layout and quality, the property may also present future potential for a residential site, subject to the necessary planning permission from Westmeath County Council. Located just a short drive from the towns of Mullingar and Kinnegad, this property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and accessibility. The area supports a vibrant farming community, with a mix of beef, dairy, and sheep enterprises. This is a good opportunity to acquire a compact, productive holding in a strong agricultural region. Viewing is highly recommended. Directions: From Kinnegad, take the R161 north towards Killucan for approximately 6km.
