(In Lots)
Jordan Auctioneers and Leinster Marts are delighted to offer this exceptional c. 55-acre farm to the market. Situated in one of County Kildare's most sought-after farming districts, the holding comprising agricultural land and a derelict cottage comes with superb road frontage and offers great potential.
The property is offered for sale in the following lots:
Lot 1: Approximately 50.5 acres together with the derelict cottage and farm buildings - Guide Price: ?500,000
Lot 2: Approximately 4.5 acres with site potential - Guide Price: ?70,000
Lot 3: The entire holding extending to approximately 55 acres - Guide Price: ?570,000
The property extends to approximately 55 acres (22.26 hectares) contained within a compact holding and is presently laid down in permanent pasture. The lands are divided into a number of well-sized fields by mature hedgerows and established tree lines, providing excellent shelter, privacy and natural boundaries.
The holding comprises predominantly productive grazing land, with a portion of the lower-lying ground offering scope for reclamation and improvement, presenting purchasers with an opportunity to further enhance the overall productivity of the farm. The lands are generally well-configured and benefit from an attractive natural incline, making the property particularly suitable for equestrian use, including the potential development of a private gallop or training facilities.
Occupying a highly accessible position with extensive frontage onto both the R418 and an adjoining local road, the property offers excellent access throughout and considerable long-term flexibility. The traditional derelict cottage is centrally positioned within the holding together with a four-span hay barn incorporating a lean-to and a range of ancillary farm buildings.
The existing buildings create an attractive focal point and may provide a basis for the development of a new residence and farmyard, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. The combination of the existing buildings, extensive road frontage and the natural topography of the lands will appeal to farmers, equestrian purchasers and those seeking to establish a country residence with adjoining lands.
LOCATION
The property is situated in the townland of Thomastown, approximately 6.5 km south of Kilcullen, Co. Kildare, occupying a highly accessible location with extensive frontage onto the R418 Kilcullen to Athy Road together with additional frontage onto a local road. The holding enjoys excellent accessibility while retaining the privacy and tranquillity of a prime rural setting.

Rail services are available from both Newbridge and Kildare stations, each offering regular commuter and intercity services.
Situated in the heart of one of County Kildare's most productive farming districts, the surrounding area is renowned for its quality agricultural land and strong bloodstock tradition, with a mixture of tillage, livestock and equestrian enterprises.
