Donegal farmland one-third the size of Vatican City goes on the market for €700,000
The 39.37-acre family-owned holding in Muff is being offered in two separate lots, with expressions of interest already received.
A substantial 39.37-acre holding of arable farmland on the outskirts of Muff, close to the Derry border, has come onto the market with a guide price of €700,000.
The family-owned farmland at Derryvane, Muff, extends to approximately 15.93 hectares – more than one-third the size of Vatican City, the world's smallest independent country. The size of the land being sold is also equivalent to 22 football pitches.
Furey Auctioneers, acting jointly with McCauley Properties, are bringing the property to the market by private treaty, with the lands being offered in two separate lots.
Located approximately 2.8km from Muff village along the Bridgend/Buncrana Road, the farmland is also less than 1km from the former Rock Bar.
Situated in an established farming district on the Inishowen Peninsula, the lands comprise predominantly good-quality arable ground and offer an opportunity for existing farmers to expand their farmland operations or for purchasers seeking an agricultural investment.
The smaller of the two plots for sale extends to approximately 9.67 acres (3.91 hectares) and has a guide price of €200,000.
The compact plot comprises predominantly arable land and is described as an attractive opportunity for those seeking additional agricultural ground.
The more substantial acreage for sale extends to approximately 29.7 acres (12.02 hectares) and carries a guide price of €500,000.
The larger farmland also comprises predominantly good-quality arable land, offering an opportunity for further agricultural expansion.
The property's location, close to Muff village and the Derry border, provides convenient access to both Donegal and Derry, while its position within an established agricultural area is likely to appeal to farming interests.
Potential purchasers are being advised to register their interest early, with the selling agents confirming that expressions of interest have already been received from a number of interested parties.
The closing date for bidders is Tuesday, November 24, at 12pm, although the property may be sold before that date.
Offers should be submitted to either of the joint selling agents: Dara Furey at Furey Auctioneers, Buncrana, or Leo McCauley at McCauley Properties, Moville.
