Derryvickrune, Recess, Ballynahinch, Co. Galway

Folio GY56730. Located approximately 8 miles to the east of Clifden, 5 miles from Roundstone and close to Ballynahinch castle and estate, the superb holding is a true gem and offers a fabulous opportunity to acquire one of the larger land holdings in private ownership located in Connemara. The Connemara Greenway traverses the lower half of the property, with the southern parcel extending to 134.54 hectares (332.45 acres) and the northern section extending to 195.43 hectares (482.91 acres). ACCESS: In relation to access, access to the property is via a registered Right of Way over a Coillte forestry road of circa 480 metres, and with a gated entrance into the property. There are additional circa 850 meters of forestry quality roads, within the property, leading to 3 detached derelict dwellings, which are commonly and historically known as Mannion's village. FORESTRY AND LANDS: The principal species of the plantation is Sitka Spruce and with circa 24 acres of Larch Pole Pine making up the remainder. Also dispersed within the different areas of forestry are natural regeneration of Beech and Birch and other native species. Most of the forestry was planted in the around 1990 and thus would be ready for clear fell (if desired) and re plantation within the next 5 to 10 years. Most of the crop benefit from yield classes, ranging from 8 to 20 (as per 2022 assessment). Located within this Folio are two large areas of unplanted lands, of which one is being actively farmed, as identified below. Circa 165 acres of lands, located to the south of the Greenway, with frontage to the Owenmore River, is enclosed by post and wire fencing and offers good quality grazing land for sheep/cattle farming. These lands also have access and frontage to the Greenway. These lands are actively farmed and could be leased or sold, if desired. To the north of the Greenway is an area of lands extending to circa 271 acres, which are not farmed or enclosed by fencing, but would offer options for future farming of a new planting schedule. Located in the lands to the north of the Greenway are 3-derelict cottages, with a high quality forestry road leading up to them. Part of the appeal of Derryvickrune is its uniqueness within Connemara, offering a unique a folio located in a highly scenic area, benefiting from magnificent panoramic views over Connemara and the Twelve Bens in many places. There is now the added attraction of the Greenway, which traverses the lands and the potential to re-develop the derelict cottages, which we have been informed date back to the famine period and had a recorded population of 10 people living there in 1911 census.
