Fertile and productive coastal tillage farm
Situated on the banks of Lough Swilly, Ballymoney Farm has some of the finest land in the county comprising about 146 acres of first-class fertile and versatile tillage land with a good working depth.
This superb land lies within a contiguous block and is laid out in fields of a generous size which are suitable for large farm machinery. The fields are divided by mature hedgerows and are enclosed by a combination of stone walls and post and wire fencing.
The farmland is free draining and benefits from about 1.4 kilometres of road frontage. Access to the land is facilitated by multiple entry points, each entrance equipped with good sized gates suitable for accommodating large machinery.
Much of the topography is undulating with a high point of 61 metres / 200 feet above sea level at the centre of the property and a low point of 2 metres / 6.5 feet above sea level on the coastal boundary.
The land boasts idyllic views, with over 1 kilometre of waterfrontage onto Lough Swilly. A key feature of the land is its ability to grow a range of crops including barley, oats, and wheat.
A centrally located farmyard lies at the heart of the holding and includes a general purpose shed, former livestock sheds and extensive hardstanding. To the south of the farm is a derelict cottage accompanied by traditional outbuildings, while to the west, a derelict cottage enjoys outstanding
water views and presents an excellent opportunity for redevelopment, subject to planning permission.
The land can be classified as follows:
Tillage - 146 acres
Pasture - 3 acres
Scrub - 4 acres
Miscellaneous - 4 acres
Total - 157 acres
Location
County Donegal, located on the north-westerly tip of Ireland, is widely regarded as one of the country's most beautiful and unspoilt regions, renowned for its rich history and breathtaking landscape. The county is characterised by dramatic sea cliffs, rolling green hills and pristine sandy beaches. Ballymoney Farm enjoys a strategic position between Letterkenny and the City of Derry/Londonderry.
Steeped in history, Derry/Londonderry, the inaugural UK City of Culture in 2013, is just 14 kilometres from the farm and provides a full range of services, amenities, education and cultural activities.
Situated on the banks of the River Foyle, Derry/Londonderry is the second largest city in Northern Ireland and the only remaining completely intact walled city in Ireland, which remains one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe.
Letterkenny (24 km) is the largest town in Donegal which provides a wide range of shops, services, and amenities. It is a market town with atmospheric pubs, excellent restaurants, hotels, and impressive cultural venues that host renowned local and international artists.
Despite the rural setting, Ballymoney Farm benefits from excellent transportation links, including easy access to the A6 connecting Derry/Londonderry and Belfast. City of Derry Airport is just 27 kilometres distant, while bus services can be found in Letterkenny and Derry/Londonderry.
The area surrounding Ballymoney Farm is predominantly agricultural, characterised by open fields and picturesque countryside. It benefits from a well-established agricultural infrastructure, including a strong network of agricultural merchants, milk processors and livestock markets.
