Galway (in one or more lots). This farm is approached by a tree lined avenue with mature beech trees at the entrance. The derelict residence is situated at the end of the avenue and in the centre of the holding and although this is derelict, it offers a unique opportunity for the prospective purchaser to restore to its former glory. The residence is set in a picturesque area and also retains many of its original features including corner, key and cut stones sills. As the residence has been vacant for a number of years, the new owners may avail of the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant. This grant is funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage through the Croi Conaithe (Towns) Fund and you apply through your local authority. The grant provides funding for the refurbishment of vacant and derelict homes. One can get a grant of up to 70,000e to turn a derelict house or building into your permanent home or a rental property. This holding benefits from a live planning application to construct a two-storey dwelling on the lands which is due to expire in April 2025. The planning application can be reviewed under ref: 20263-Galway Local Authority Planning Portal. This provides a positive planning history for the new purchasers. The lands are bounded by the Ballinure River and are laid out in several neat divisions delineated by natural hedging and trees, all in permanent pasture and of majority good quality grazing lands with excellent road frontage from the southern boundary of the holding.
