Larkhill Ballymote, County Sligo , F56 NN88

71 acres residential farm

For Sale by private treaty

Located within 3 miles of Ballymote town centre, this is an excellent farm, all in one lot that has enormous potential for a variety of farming enterprises. The farm is split by the R295 (Ballymote - Boyle road) with approx 12 acres south of the road, adjoining a small lake, Lough Daven, which has excellent pike and perch fishing. The larger portion of approx 59 acres is North of the road, which includes the residence and farm buildings. The farm can be sold all in one or in 2 lots.

The 2 storey residence is derelict at present, having been last occupied approx 12 years ago. However, it has great potential to be renovated into a vibrant family home again. Derelict house grant / vacant house grant should be obtainable on this house. Beside the house is an old stone granary that has further potential for conversion into residential accommodation as part of the family home or independent apartment / granny flat, etc.

The farm buildings include a 3 bay slatted shed with a creep area. All floor areas are matted. There is also a good selection of older dry sheds of varying sizes that are ideal for calves, sheep, or equines as well as for workshops, studios, etc. There are also a number of small sheds that were formerly used as poultry / hatching units for a once thriving poultry enterprise years ago.
