Croghan, Rhode, Co. Offaly

James L. Murtagh Auctioneers are delighted to offer this c. 12 acre roadside parcel of forestry at Croghan, Rhode, Co. Offaly.
The subject lands comprise a mature mixed forestry plantation, predominantly coniferous, which is understood to have been established during the 1990s. The property enjoys the benefit of road frontage onto a local road, providing good accessibility and a prominent roadside profile. This level of access enhances the suitability of the lands for forestry operations, including harvesting, replanting and ongoing management, while also offering potential for future alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents.
To the best of our knowledge, the plantation has not been thinned since its establishment. We understand that all applicable forestry grants and subsidies have been fully claimed and that no penalties have been imposed in respect of the plantation.
Based on a preliminary visual inspection, it would appear that the majority, if not the entirety, of the plantation may now be at a stage suitable for harvesting, presenting the potential for an immediate income-generating opportunity. This opinion is provided for guidance only, and prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves by carrying out their own independent investigations, including obtaining appropriate professional forestry advice, to verify the age, species composition, timber volume, harvesting suitability, grant status and any other matters they consider relevant.
Directions: From Rhode, travel towards Croghan on the L1010 for 3km turn left onto the Togher and continue for another 3km, take the right and immediate left and then the next left and the lands will be identified by our James L. Murtagh Sales board.
