Premier league
Tipperary looks set to keep its place near the top of the land sales’ league in Munster, if not in the country. Last year saw a huge number of farm sales in the Premier County and this year looks set to be no different.
Cashel auctioneer Nicholas Maher is handling the sale of some fine properties in south Tipp.
These include a fine 22ac residential farm at Thurlesbeg outside Cashel. The holding comes with shedding for 120 cattle and is built around a substantial modern farmhouse. The place is for sale by private treaty with a guide price of €800,000.
The property, originally part of a much bigger farm, the house is a substantial farmhouse with five bedrooms. Built about 10 years ago, it is an efficient modern home very well finished with accommodation that includes a sitting room, dining room and a modern kitchen with a sunroom leading from it. There is also a guest WC and a utility downstairs while upstairs is a family bathroom and five bedrooms, three of which have ensuite facilities.
Situated in a beautiful setting, there are lovely views from the house.
Out of doors is a double garage and farmyard with a substantial range of facilities. This includes a seven-bay slatted feeding shed with accommodation for about 120 cattle, and an old milking parlour that is currently used as a calf shed and for feed storage.
All the buildings, including a silage bay, are set on a large concrete apron.
BALLINURE HOLDING
Nicholas Maher is also dealing with the sale of an 18ac residential farm with stud potential at Ballaghboy, Ballinure, near Cashel in south Tipp. The place is on the treaty market with a guide of €375,000.
Ballinure is located southeast of the M8 between Cashel and Horse and Jockey, 8km from Cashel.
The property includes a fourbed residence, seven stables, and a sand arena, and it comes with planning permission for 20 stables.
The house was built about 14 years ago and has accommodation that includes a kitchen/ sitting room, a sunroom, a dining room and a utility. Upstairs is a family bathroom and four bedrooms, of which three are ensuite.
Features include wooden floors throughout, wooden double glazed windows, a fully-fitted modern kitchen and a car garage adjacent.
The seven stables are fully operational while a steel-frame portal shed has planning for 20 further stables. Other equestrian facilities include a sand arena. The land is the best of south Tipp ground divided into a number of paddocks.
DAIRY SALE
Mr Maher doesn’t confine his attentions solely to south Tipp. He recently wandered west into West Cork where he sold, prior to auction, a 59.3ac residential farm at Clondrohid near Macroom. A solicitor acting for a client bought the place for over €10,000/ac.
Located on the Clondrohid to Macroom road, the farm includes a traditional two-storey farmhouse in need of attention, an extensive range of old farm sheds, plenty of road frontage and milking potential, having been a dairy farm at one time.
The farm buildings, like the house, are in need of a lot of work and are not quite fit for modern farm use.
The land is good undulating agricultural ground that is fertile and well-farmed, having been rented for a number of years.
The place was due to be sold at auction at the end of this month but sold privately in recent weeks.
