Ardee Farm Hits the Market for €2.5 Million
Blakestown Farm, located just outside Ardee, has been listed for sale with a price tag of €2.5 million. Described as one of the finest livestock and tillage farms in Co. Louth
This expansive 157.5-acre (63.7-hectare) property is available through joint receivers Kieran Wallace and Andrew O’Leary of Interpath Advisory.
Auctioneer Brian Carroll of Sherry Fitzgerald Carroll highlights the sale as a unique opportunity to acquire a significant tract of land in Co. Louth. “Blakestown Farm is undoubtedly one of the most impressive arable and livestock rearing farms to come to the market in recent times. Its nature and proximity to Ardee town may offer further potential into the future,” he said.
Currently used for grazing and silage production, the farm is renowned for its Blakestown Pedigree Charolais bloodline. The property includes an intensive feedlot and collection yard, making it a top-quality, well-maintained holding. The farm is divided into eight large sections, primarily level or gently sloping south/west, with fertile soil ideal for grazing and tillage production.
The eastern side of the farm features a large indoor slatted feed lot with vented walls and roof, providing direct access to six outdoor pens and two additional large pens. The farmyard is well-equipped with concrete finishes, a silage pit, rainwater storage tanks, a yard paddock, and extensive internal farm roads. While currently used for productive grassland, the land is also suitable for high-yielding tillage and forage crops.
Blakestown Farm boasts substantial triple road frontage, bordering the N2 Dublin/Derry Road to the east, the Kingscourt Road to the south, and a local road to the west. Access is available via a right of way over a shared laneway from the N2, with five additional entry points from various roads.
Conveniently located approximately 2 km south of Ardee Town, 7.5 km north of Collon, and about 10 km west of M1 Junctions 13 and 14 at Dunleer, the farm is also easily accessible to Dundalk, 20 km away.
Note that two residences, stone farm buildings, and an L-shaped farm building attached to the older residence are excluded from the sale.
Blakestown Farm is available for purchase by Private Treaty. Interested parties can schedule a viewing by appointment with the selling agents at (042) 933 2173.
