About this property

  • The Derrypark and Glenbeg Portfolio is offered for sale as a whole or in six lots.

    The Derrypark & Glenbeg Portfolio is a wonderful residential, agricultural and sporting holding set in the scenic heartland of County Mayo. The Portfolio extends to about 517 acres in total and offers a variety of opportunities. It includes six residential properties which are all beautifully positioned around the shore of an inlet of Lough Mask, each with a magnificent outlook across the water and onto the dramatic mountain ranges. While Derrypark Lodge is presently occupied by the owners, a successful holiday letting business is run from the remaining residential properties.

    The Portfolio is in two principal blocks; Derrypark, situated to the north of the lough's inlet and Glenbeg, situated to the south. A 17-acre block of farmland lies a short distance to the east of the principal landholding at Glenbeg. A notable attraction is that the properties situated at Glenbeg are all accessed off a minor road which terminates midway along the peninsula, resulting in a limited volume of passing traffic.

    The surrounding area offers spectacular views and is renowned for its unspoilt, natural beauty which is a haven for wildlife. There are terrific sporting opportunities on the estate and in the surrounding area, with premier-quality fishing and boating on Lough Mask and shooting and stalking available locally. The present owners run a commercial fishing enterprise, with six boats available, as well as a ghillie service.

    Further income is generated through an in-hand farming business. The farm carries a breeding flock of about 500 hill ewes which are lambed outdoors. General farm work is contracted in. There is a small range of farm buildings and livestock handling facilities situated next to Martin Tom's Cottage, while further outbuildings lie next to Derrypark Cottages and Glenbeg Cottage.

    A key feature of the Portfolio is that each Lot has direct access to the lough, with the total frontage onto the lough extending to about 2,780 metres.
