The property is situated in the townland of Clondalee More, a picturesque part of south-west Co. Meath, lying just southeast of Mullingar and within easy reach of the R161 regional road. The area is renowned for its rolling agricultural countryside, mature woodlands, and proximity to the historic Hill of Down, a location steeped in local folklore and ancient settlement history. The lands are divided by a quiet secondary road, offering excellent accessibility and natural division between parcels. Extending to approximately c.263.71 acres, the lands are made up of forestry plantations, productive pasture, and areas of natural bogland.

A Species Map is available on request. To the northern boundary, there is part made up of bogland, offering potential for environmental or amenity use. The residence, a traditional two-storey farmhouse approached via a charming tree-lined avenue, retains much of its original character but is in need of comprehensive refurbishment having been vacant for several years. The property may qualify for the Vacant Home Property Refurbishment Grant. (Accommodation to follow). The adjoining farmyard includes a range of agricultural sheds and outbuildings, which also require attention but offer excellent potential for restoration and use as part of an operational holding.

These lands are suitable for a variety of agricultural uses, benefiting from fertile soils and natural shelter.
