We present the discovery of a low-mass comoving system found by means of the NOIRLab Source Catalog (NSC) DR2. The system consists of the high proper-motion star LEHPM 5005 and an ultracool companion 2MASS J22410186-4500298 with an estimated spectral type of L2. The primary (LEHPM 5005) is likely a mid-M dwarf but over-luminous for its color, indicating a possible close equal mass binary. According to the Gaia EDR3 parallax of the primary, the system is located at a distance of $58pm2$ pc. We calculated an angular separation of 7.2 between both components, resulting in a projected physical separation of 418 AU.
