According to Savills, one of the most productive and versatile agricultural holdings to come to the market in north County Dublin in recent years, Skidoo Farm at Ballyboughal offers 237 acres of ring-fenced quality land just 22 kilometres from Dublin city centre.

‘The renowned tillage and livestock farm, positioned between Swords and Ashbourne and within easy reach of the M1 motorway, is being offered for sale as a whole or in two lots - Lot 1, Skidoo House and Farm, guiding €6.625 million, and Lot 2, Skidoo Lodge, guiding €375,000 - giving buyers rare flexibility at a scale seldom available so close to the capital,’ says Savills.

‘At the heart of the holding is Skidoo House, a substantial 7,357 sq ft residence with five bedrooms and four reception rooms, recently refurbished externally with all major structural work - roof, windows, plumbing and electrics - complete.

‘Its unfinished interior offers an incoming owner the unusual opportunity to complete and personalise a country home to their own specification, anchored by a newly extended open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room.

‘The farm's infrastructure is a defining feature.

‘A 35-box stable courtyard arranged around a central grass quadrangle suits both private and commercial equestrian operations, while a separate principal farmyard offers an extensive range of modern agricultural buildings designed for the efficient housing and handling of livestock, including a former dairy unit.

‘The free-draining, level land - currently all in grass but equally suited to arable cropping - benefits from approximately 1.5 kilometres of road frontage and an excellent network of internal tracks.

‘The two-bedroom Skidoo Lodge on the southern boundary, offered separately as Lot 2, provides a further residential unit with potential as staff, guest or rental accommodation’.

James Butler of Savills said: "Skidoo Farm is a commercial farm of the highest calibre, combining proven productive land, an exceptional range of buildings and a prime location in a renowned farming area - a genuinely rare offering at this scale within reach of Dublin city."
