Attractive farmhouse on about 60 acres with fantastic views

Introduction
Extending to about 60.2 acres / 24.4 hectares in total, Snowtown is a top-quality residential farm in one of the most sought-after locations on the border of North County Dublin and County Meath.

The agricultural element of the property comprises some of the best tillage land in Ireland and is suitable for all farming enterprises. There is also a good complement of multi-functional outbuildings and a large storage shed.

The traditional farmhouse comes to the market in good condition. A fine family home, it has 4 double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and 2 reception rooms.

The Offering
The farm is available for sale as a whole or in lots as follows:

Lot 1 – Snowtown Farmhouse on 4.3 hectare / 10.6 acres

House

Entered through stone pillars and iron gates, the farmhouse is presented very well externally and sits perched in an elevated position overlooking some of the best farmland in the country. The property benefits from a welcoming hallway, kitchen/dining room, living room, sitting room, pantry, and a ground-floor bedroom which could easily be used as a third reception room. Upstairs there are 4 bedrooms, including a master bedroom suite and a family bathroom. Some of the more important features of the home are the high ceilings in the bedrooms, the original fireplaces which create a lovely authentic atmosphere, and finally the sweeping spectacular views.

Outbuildings
There is a range of outbuildings to the side of the house, including a large, enclosed storage shed and a hay barn. There are also some attractive stone heritage outbuildings that could be used for further accommodation (S.P.P.) and a coal shed. These outbuildings can be accessed from the yard behind the house and are in need of remedial work. There is also a shed to the front of the house at a lower level accessible from the grasslands and a garage that is attached to the house which is
split into two parts internally.

Land
We are offering approx. 10.6 acres with Snowtown House. This land is located to the west of the house and is of mixed quality gently sloping to a glen. Primarily used to graze animals, the land is well-drained running into a stream and could be used for
