Charming Carlow holding exciting the market at €1.7m guide
The cottage and outbuildings on the 94-acre farm at Lisnevagh, Carlow.
A 94-acre farm in Carlow with a lot of attractive components (including good quality land) is new to the market with Savills’ Dublin office.
The property is at Lisnevagh, east of the N81 and close to the border with County Wicklow. It is roughly 8.5km northeast of Tullow and 5km from Rathvilly village and is available in a choice of lots:
Lot 1 consists of 65.6 acres of land; Lot 2 consists of 26.6 acres, including 3.8 acres of woodland; Lot 3 is the former gamekeepers cottage on 2 acres.
The holding was part of the Lisnevagh Estate and the overall feel and charm of both the lands and the buildings exude that tradition.
“Within the property, there are about 51 acres of good tillage land,” says Josh Pim of Savills’. “The rest consists of good pastureland – good silage ground – and a good bit of woodland… with over a kilometre of road frontage and some estate walls too, so there’s a good bit of provenance to it.”
While some of the lands are leased at present, the property will be sold with vacant possession, the agent specifies, but with an obligation to re-plant the relatively small area of forestry.
The cottage is a charming period residence of traditional stone and slate construction in a private position off a country road and surrounded by mature trees, with an entrance through two stone pillars.
Accommodation in the single-storey house (with one-and-a-half-storey return) consists of approximately 1,200 square feet and includes an entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room, utility room, bathroom, and two bedrooms.
“It’s in decent condition, probably in need of a little bit of work,” says Josh. “It’s very quaint and with a lovely outlook onto the rest of the countryside.
“We’re getting a lot of enquiries on it already, both for the individual lots and for the entire property. It’s only just on the market but getting a good reaction.”
With a price guide of €1,700,000, there’s plenty to attract a wide range of suitors – farmers and non-farmers.
