Remarkable Castletown Geoghegan farm up for sale

A prime 118-acre non-residential farm in one of County Westmeath’s most productive agricultural regions has been brought to the market, with a guide price in the region of €1.2 million.

Located at Monaghanstown, Castletown Geoghegan, the impressive holding will be offered for sale by public and online auction on Wednesday, July 29, at 3pm. The auction will take place at the Mullingar Park Hotel and online via the LSL Auction App, and registration is required by July 27.

The property is being marketed by REA Potterton, which describes the farm as a high-quality agricultural holding extending to approximately 118 acres (47.75 hectares) in one compact block.

Situated just off the N52 Mullingar to Tullamore road, the farm enjoys an attractive rural setting while remaining highly accessible. Castletown Geoghegan village is just 2km away, while Mullingar, with its extensive range of retail, educational and recreational amenities, is only 16km from the property.

The lands are laid out in large, easily managed divisions, bordered and intersected by mature hedgerows. Located in an area renowned for its fertile grazing land, the farm is considered ideal for cattle finishing and a wide range of agricultural enterprises.

According to the selling agents, the holding also offers significant potential for equestrian use, while its layout and location may appeal to buyers seeking to build a family home, subject to the necessary planning permission from Westmeath County Council.

Supporting the agricultural enterprise is an excellent range of farm infrastructure positioned at the heart of the holding. The yard includes a substantial five-bay portal frame shed with a concrete floor and external concrete meal troughs, together with a large concrete apron. Additional facilities include a cattle handling pen and chute, a silage pit and a hardcore internal farm roadway, providing practical access throughout the property.

The farm benefits from a private well water supply, a natural water source and an ESB connection, while vacant possession will be available upon completion of the sale.

Beyond its farming credentials, the location offers excellent lifestyle and sporting amenities.

The surrounding area is well known for country pursuits including hunting, shooting, horse racing and fishing, while nearby Lough Ennell is recognised as one of Ireland’s premier pike fishing destinations.

REA Potterton says the combination of scale, quality, location and infrastructure makes this one of the more notable farm offerings to come to the Westmeath market this year, with strong interest expected from local farmers, expanding agricultural businesses, equestrian buyers and investors alike.

Viewings can be arranged through the selling agents, while the lands may also be inspected at reasonable times. Solicitors with carriage of the sale are Nicola Murtagh and Associates, Mullingar.
