Described as an “interesting” opportunity, the 73 acre plot of mixed quality land has gone up for sale in Ballymoe near Williamstown.

Buyers will also have rights to a 115 acre commonage nearby as well as the on-site three bedroom cottage.

The cottage will require full refurbishment but is likely to qualify for the vacant property refurbishment grant.

The daft.ie advert for the land reads: “This exceptional holding comprises approximately 73.6 acres of mixed-quality land together with circa 115 acres of adjoining commonage, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial countryside property with enormous potential.

“Ideally suited for farming, forestry, lifestyle, or investment purposes, the lands offer a versatile mix of grazing and upland ground in a peaceful rural setting. Conveniently located within easy reach of Williamstown, Castlerea, Dunmore, and Tuam, the property enjoys excellent accessibility to both the western and midland regions of Ireland, making it an attractive option for local and outside purchasers alike.

“Included on the property is a development residence with excellent potential to be transformed into a comfortable three-bedroom home, subject to the necessary planning and refurbishment works.

“The residence may also qualify for available renovation and energy-efficiency grants, offering buyers an opportunity to create a modern countryside residence while benefiting from financial support schemes.

“With its combination of productive land, extensive commonage rights, development potential, and strategic location, this property offers outstanding value and endless possibilities for farming enterprises, forestry development, rural living, or long-term investment. Opportunities to acquire a holding of this scale and versatility rarely come to the market, and early viewing is highly recommended.”
