Substantial block of land on the shores of Lough Ree with huge opportunities for conservation and diversification
Situated in a private and tranquil area on the shores of Lough Ree the land at Dernagallaigh has huge potential for conservation and diversification comprising about 98 acres in total.
This land lies within two blocks comprising the main block of about 86 acres and a second block positioned one field north of this comprising 12 acres. Both blocks are laid out in fields of a generous size which are suitable for large farm machinery. Enclosed partially by a mature hedgerow and fencing and bound by Lough Ree, the farmland benefits from good internal tracks.
The land comprises two sets of farm buildings including a six-bay cattle shed with corrugated roof and slatted floor as well as a corrugated Dutch barn with lean-to suitable for storage.
Much of the topography is level with a high point of 43 metres / 141 feet above sea level on the northern boundary and a low point of 34 metres / 111 feet above sea level on the northern boundary.
The land boasts a wealth of opportunities for sports and recreation, with over 1.5 kilometres of waterfrontage onto Lough Ree. On the western boundary there is a mooring providing a convenient launch point for boats to sail on Lough Ree and down the River Shannon. This section boasts some of the deepest parts of the entire lake, reaching depths of up to 100 feet in places.
