A substantial forestry holding near Ballymacward, County Galway, has come onto the market, offering investors a rare opportunity to acquire a mature woodland asset in the heart of the county.
The property extends to approximately 52.8 acres (21.26 hectares ), split across two established plantations in the townlands of Ballyvoneen and Cave. The land is planted with a mix of Sitka spruce, alder and Japanese larch — a combination well suited to the region's soils and long favoured for its balance of commercial timber value and biodiversity.
The holding comprises two separate forestry contracts. The larger of the two, CN 43601, covers roughly 33.43 acres and was planted under a scheme running from 2006 to 2026, placing it close to maturity and well positioned for near-term
timber return. The second, CN 714440, spans some 19.36 acres and falls under a scheme running from 2017 to 2032, offering a longer growing horizon and a staggered investment profile for a buyer looking to spread risk and return over time.
Good access is provided. According to the sole selling agent, Colm Dermody: “The plantation was unaffected by Storm Éowyn and offers good access.”
