Lakeside farm with cottage
Located at Lehinch, close to the shores of Lough Derg, this 30-acre farm is a dream buy for the hunting, shooting cruising and water skiing set.
It has good summer grassland, but this sale will appeal more to the non-farming market. And it’s a residential holding, so there’s no nightmare of trying to get planning permission in this beautiful area.
On the lakeshore, but not of it (because the rights are held by the ESB), this property comes with what could be described as a fisherman’s cottage at Slevoir Bay, just north of Terryglass and less than a mile from Portumna.
The area is very popular with cruisers on the Shannon Erne waterway.
According to David Ashmore of HOK, the reedy shoreline provides plenty of cover for snipe, woodcock, pheasant and pigeon, with deer shooting also available.
The residence is a little stone, two bedroomed cottage that’s perfect as it is, especially if the property is going to be used as a retreat.
With a belt of mature woodland and fields of grass, the Lehinch farm is very attractive and has good road frontage.
Moorings are difficult to get; permission has to be sought from Tipperary County Council and the ESB.
There is, however, the option of widening the land drains on the edge of the farm to use as a navigable waterway to the lake.
Lough Derg has 32,000 acres of water and is renowned for bream, trout and pike fishing.
And the price for all of this? A mere €500,000.
