At The Property Exchange, Emmet Street, Trim, Co. Meath.
(ONLINE VIA LSL AUCTION APP Pre-Registration by Nov 5th )
An exceptionally fine residential farm in a desirable location renowned for its excellent soil characteristics. Equally suited to equine purposes, the property also lends itself to other commercial opportunities.
The property enjoys a lovely unspoilt rural and yet convenient location lying close to the village of Kilmessan, which caters for all the day to day shopping requirements.
Further excellent shopping, educational and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby historic market town of Trim with its skyline dominated by the medieval ruins of King John’s Castle, one of the most enduring tourist attractions in the Boyne Valley.
Daily commuting to the capital is quickly and easily accomplished via the M3 Motorway, while Dublin Airport lies only 40km to the southeast.
The locality is well supported by an established farming infrastructure with abbatoirs, contractors, merchants, Delvin Livestock Market and other service industries all close at hand. Country pursuits in and around the area include hunting, fishing, shooting and horse racing.
The placing of this property on the market affords a unique opportunity for prospective purchasers to acquire a superb block of productive agricultural land incorporating an old world farmhouse (in need of renovation and refurbishment) and an array of traditional out offices.
Knockgrange Farm has been in the same family ownership for generations, during which time it has been well cared for and managed. The property is being presented for sale in its entirety and the selling agents highly recommend an early inspection.
