Compact 101-acre farm at Creggaun hits the market
A rare opportunity has just come to the market offering the chance to acquire a substantial and well-maintained agricultural holding in a prime location within close proximity to Ballinasloe.
This compact 101-acre farm at Creggaun, around three and a half kilometres outside Ballinasloe fronting onto the Ahascragh road, is laid out in grass and presented in excellent heart, with well-defined internal divisions and a strong history of productive use.
Approached via a private 300-metre tree-lined avenue, the property opens into a central, purpose-built farmyard.
The farm infrastructure includes two adjoining five-bay haysheds with lean-tos, an adjoining silage pit, extensive concrete apron areas extending to approximately 3,000 sq. ft., a cattle crush and pen, a collecting yard, and an effluent tank.
A selection of traditional stone outbuildings further enhance the yard, offering potential for storage or conversion.
The land is of excellent quality, all under permanent pasture, and is highly suitable for tillage, livestock and equine enterprises. The holding benefits from good natural drainage, is well-fenced, and has a reliable water supply.
The farm is divided into six easily managed paddocks. A portion of the land surrounding the yard was reseeded approximately ten years ago, further improving its productivity.
A standout feature of the property is its southern boundary with the Bunowen River, a scenic and tranquil watercourse popular with local anglers. This natural feature adds both recreational and environmental value to the holding.
For sale by private treaty with a guide price of €1 million – or for auction later if not sold – Creggaun Farm also enjoys a rich agricultural heritage.
It was previously owned by the Western Health Board, where it supported a mixed enterprise including grain and root crop cultivation as well as pig fattening.
Further details are available from Remax Team Earley in Roscommon town.
