Southwood
norsemytho group reviews the Montana House at the Ward, Co Dublin, one of the
few residential farms to come to the market in the capital county for some
time. The substantial 1960's house on 60ac comes with stables and a farmyard
and will be sold at auction with a guide price of €800,000.
Located across
the road from the famous White House pub, it is 5km north of the M50 and enjoys
road frontage on to the Ashbourne and Mulhuddart roads.
The house has a
somewhat stately look to it, reminiscent of Dixieland, with its five-column
veranda and balcony topped by a roof with a bell-shaped curve. Built 50 years
ago, the residence extends to 3,229sq ft with accommodation that includes four
reception rooms, a large kitchen and utility room, four bedrooms and a family
bathroom.
There are
toilets located on both floors. According to Pat O'Hagan of selling agents Savills,
the house is a substantial building but in need of refurbishment and
modernisation.
The property is
accessed by an attractive entrance from the road along a well-kept drive with
lawns, rose beds and clipped hedgerows. There is also a detached two-car garage
and a separate boiler house.
The land, while
all in grass at the moment, is described as the best of north Dublin tillage
land laid out in one block of 60ac. Stud-railed fences divide the property but
these could do with some attention. However, according to Mr O'Hagan the place
is perfect for tillage with its potential for multiple access points and could
easily be turned into one big field ready for the plough.
The substantial
outbuildings include a courtyard behind the house with 16 loose boxes and a
lean-to shed for machinery or fodder storage. A cattle yard at the south west
of the property includes a traditional cattle shed and outdoor facilities that could
winter up to 70 cattle.
Interest is
expected from equestrian, livestock and tillage farmers when the property comes
to auction at Buswells Hotel, Dublin at 3pm on Wednesday, June 26.
