This is a unique opportunity to acquire property in the heart of the Wicklow mountains, located in the South of County Wicklow and accessed via the Aghavannagh Road. The lands extend to Lugnaquilla Summit (925 meters), which we believe is the second highest mountain in Ireland, after County Kerry, the highest mountain in Wicklow and the highest point in Leinster and is an imposing giant of a mountain. On visiting the Summit, we can report, that the Summit is approximately 100 acres of plateau and not a peak, like on other mountain ranges. This flat plateau at the top of the climb is referred to as Percy`s Table, and is a historic benchmark, situated at the Summit over-looking Co. Wicklow `the Garden of Ireland` which is suitable for rough grazing, even at that height. This Summit is one of the most spectacular spots in Co Wicklow, looking out over the entire County and on a clear day some say Snowdonia in Wales.

This farm meets The Wicklow Way, a recognised walking trail first proposed in 1966, it is a natural attraction in Ireland, drawing tourists from all over the world. is a long-distance challenging hiking trail that runs through a variety of terrain through the Wicklow Mountains that offers stunning views of the Irish countryside and a chance to experience the National beauty of the Wicklow Mountains.

Aghavannagh its name in Irish: Achadh Mheánach, meaning `hilly field` is a small villagem situated near the base of the Lugnaquilla massif, and within a few miles of Aughrim, Glenmalure and Tinahely to the east and south, and Kiltegan, Hacketstown and Baltinglass to the west. The area is mainly surrounded by forests and is composed of mountains and mountain land. This mountainous terrain is where the Ow river rises on the southern slopes of Lugnaquilla, flows through a glacial valley and passes the outskirts of the village meeting the Aghavannagh river, which is much smaller and flows through the village, a short distance to the south.

It is located in the barony of Ballinacor South on the Military Road, originally constructed between 1804 and 1809, in the wake of the 1798 rebellion. It is so remote that inhabitants say that "Aghavannagh is the last place God made".
