Clare Property Watch: Bargain in The Banner
NESTLED along the rolling landscape between the historical village of Quin and bustling town of Sixmilebridge one finds Ballagh House on 64.66 acres of prime pasture land.
Ballagh House is being offered for sale by public auction with Costelloe Estate Agents in Ennis.
The auction takes place on July 21.
Ballagh House, which dates from the 1820’s, and is featured in Hugh Weirs book Houses of Clare, is beautifully set among mature hardwood and softwood trees, recessed back from the public road by a avenue of 80 meters in length and accessed via a cut stone pier entrance.
Although the house is in need of repair, its setting and size allow the ultimate “blank canvas” for the prospective new owner.
However, its 64.66 acres of land, will be of significant interest both in the surrounding area, throughout the county and further afield. Land of this quality rarely comes to the market.
The farm boasts an incredible 800 metres of road frontage, making it an exceptionally convenient land holding to farm.
David Costelloe of Costelloe Estate Agents commented: “it is rare a farm of this quality, in the heart of the most productive farmland within Clare, comes to the market. It is a generational purchase.”
Going under the hammer on July 21, it is guided at €850,000-€900,000.
