Tullyard, Glenties, Co. Donegal

59.10 acres with two houses at Tullyard, Glenties, Co. Donegal. I'm going back to Glenties when the harvest fields are brown, And the Autumn sunset lingers on my little Irish town, When the gossamer is shining where the moorland blossoms blow I'll take the road across the hills I tramped so long ago — 'T is far I am beyond the seas, but yearning voices call, "Will you not come back to Glenties, and your wave-washed Donegal?" I've seen the hopes of childhood stifled by the hand of time, I've seen the smile of innocence become the frown of crime, I've seen the wrong rise high and strong, I've seen the fair betrayed, Until the faltering heart fell low, the brave became afraid — But still the cry comes out to me, the homely voices call, From the Glen among the highlands of my ancient Donegal. Sure, I think I see them often, when the night is on the town, The Braes of old Strasala, and the homes of Carrigdoun — There's a light in Jimmy Lynch's house, a shadow on the blind, I often watched the shadow, for 't was Mary in behind, And often in the darkness, 't is myself that sees it all, For I cannot help but dreaming of the folk in Donegal. So I'll hie me back to Glenties when the harvest comes again, And the kine are in the pasture and the berries in the lane, Then they'll give me such a handshake that my heart will leap with joy, When a father and a mother welcome back their way-ward boy. So I'm going back to Glenties when the autumn showers fall, And the harvest home is cheery in my dear old Donegal. Folio No.: DL17579 Location: A Rural location near the towns of Glenties and Ardara running from the famous Salmon River the Owena to the highland summer grazing to the rear of the two storey house. Description: There are two residential properties on this holding. One single story and one two story. Both need full renovation. Both will qualify for the €70,000 derelict property grant subject to end user intention. As planning is becoming more restrictive in rural areas, these properties may help allow individuals without “local needs” an opportunity to live in this tranquil rural setting. The land on the lower side of the farm by the Owena River is the best land on the holding. It needs drainage improvement and a fertilizer plan. It is suitable for summer grazing or fodder harvesting. The first small cottage is and ideal holiday home or renovation project. There is just 52 sq M GIA. The cottage has one out office and yard used for livestock. It has it’s own septic tank. The roof is functional and the cottage appears to be dry and structurally sound. The land below the cottage runs down to the famous Salmon River the Owenea. The land on the river side is decent quality land and would benefit enormously from some drainage care and a fertilizer plan. The second house is a traditional two up, two down with a barn with loft annexed to the right-hand side as you look at it from the front. The house has a GIA of just over 80 square M. The land to the rear of this house is mixed quality acidic land suitable for summer grazing and or forestry plantation.
