Farm for sale by binding bids / Online Auction


New to the market by Brendan McGee of Franklins, this superb holding of approximately 27.3 acres (c. 11.05 hectares) of grazing land at Glackroe, Linsfort, occupies one of the most scenic settings on the western shore of Inishowen with commanding, uninterrupted views across Lough Swilly.

The lands are of good grazing quality throughout, rising gently from the roadside to higher ground at the rear. The upper section carries a natural hill fall and is well suited to sheep and dry stock and it is this elevation that gives the holding its outstanding outlook, south and west over the Swilly towards Rathmullan, the Fanad peninsula and the Knockalla range beyond.

Holdings of this size and quality rarely come to the open market in the Linsfort area. The land will appeal equally to the established farmer seeking to add productive grazing close to home, and to the purchaser looking for an amenity holding in a truly exceptional setting.

Located approximately 10 km from Buncrana town and within easy reach of the Inishowen coastal road, the property is convenient to all local services while retaining an unspoilt rural character.

Please note this property will be offered by online auction (unless sold prior). For auction date and time please visit iamsold.ie. Vendors may decide to accept pre auction bids so please register your interest with us to avoid disappointment.


Directions
County Donegal`s second most populous town of Buncrana (pop. 6,971) is perched on the eastern shores of the glacial fjord of Lough Swilly and is the gateway to the wild and spectacular Inishowen peninsula. This historic town, nestled between mountains and sea on the Wild Atlantic Way boasts an excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars, cultural activities and annual festivals. With easy and regular bus connectivity, it is an ideal remote working location or commuter town to the employment hubs of Derry (26km) and Letterkenny (42 km).

Buncrana is home to three primary and three post primary schools including one through the medium of Irish.

There are few spots in Ireland more ideally situated to indulge in outdoor activities with some of Donegal`s most beautiful beaches, golf courses and coastal and hill walks right on your doorstep. The jewel in the crown is Lisfannon Blue Flag Beach with an impressive 5km of golden sand. A walk along the shoreline passes the ruins of the 14th century O`Doherty`s Keep Norman Castle, the impressive 18th century Buncrana Castle and the picturesque six arched bridge across the river Crana. The shoreline trail weaves a further 6km along Buncrana Bay, passing the small coves and beaches of Lady`s Bay, Porthaw, Straghill and Linsfort with spectacular views out across Lough Swilly, which is said to have inspired the composition of Amazing Grace!

Golfing enthusiasts can enjoy a game at Ireland`s oldest 9 hole links course Buncrana Golf Club or on the equally historic 18-hole North West Golf Links while lovers of the water are spoiled for choice with a vast range of water sports on the River Crana and in the sea that surrounds the peninsula on three sides. For bird watchers, the paradise that is Inch Island beckons and if you venture a little deeper into the truly sublime Inishowen peninsula - often described as Ireland in miniature - you may well encounter bears and wolves enjoying a natural habitat at Wild Ireland and alpacas grazing the hills above Five Finger Stand, close to Ireland`s most northerly point of Malin Head.
