Lot 2, Cappanrush, Kilbeggan, Co. Westmeath

The lands surrounding the parlour are undulating in nature and would appear dry, offering the potential for a long grazing season. The farm is well laid out for modern grassland management, with laneway access throughout and lands divided into paddocks, allowing for ease of stock movement, grazing rotation and efficient day-to-day management.
The yard is further enhanced by substantial livestock accommodation, including 62 cubicles, a separate pen suitable for a livestock bull, calf-rearing shed, silage slab and dung stead. The yard also comprises six stables, offering an additional benefit for purchasers with an equine interest or those seeking flexible livestock accommodation.
Together, the quality of the yard, the paddocked layout, the modern dairy infrastructure and the livestock accommodation make Lot 2 a highly practical and versatile farming unit.
