Selling By Live Auction

Lot 2, Coolnahay, Slanemore, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath


Superbly located in the townland of Coolnahay, approximately 10km west of Mullingar, this substantial holding lies in an area renowned for top quality farmland.

The lands, extending to approximately 60.5 acres, are attractively laid out in large rectangular divisions, all in permanent pasture of exceptional quality with minimal waste. The holding is securely fenced throughout for cattle, ensuring ease of management and stock safety. Each division benefits from a reliable water supply, supporting efficient grazing rotation and livestock welfare. The property also enjoys the advantage of an internal roadway, allowing smooth access across the farm and contributing to a highly practical and well-structured layout. This is a notably high-quality holding, combining excellent grassland, well-planned infrastructure, and thoughtful design- offering both productivity and ease of operation.

This exceptional farm benefits from extensive road frontage (over 800m) with four separate access points along the western and north-western boundaries and direct access to the Royal Canal on the south-western side, enhancing its appeal as both a working agricultural enterprise and an investment with potential for lifestyle development. The area is defined by its rich agricultural heritage and scenic beauty. The surrounding countryside features fertile farmland, mature hedgerows, and scattered rural homes. Nearby, the Royal Canal Greenway and Coolnahay Harbour—home to the 26th lock and a beautifully restored lock keeper’s cottage—enhance the area’s picturesque character and strong sense of community heritage. Overall, this is a prime, high-quality holding in the heart of Westmeath, well-farmed, well-laid out, and ready for immediate use.
