Ardfert residential farm comes on the market

IT’S not often that a top class residential farm comes on the market in the renowned farming area of Ardfert and when it happens, much speculation, interest and discussion invariably follows.

Just released onto the market is a top class residential c.62 acre (25.1 Ha) holding together with extensive grazing rights added on.

Located on the coast road from Banna to Ardfert, the holding sits in the townland of Carrahane. The area also retains strong historic links with Roger Casement and his comrades, who would have walked this road on their way to McKenna’s Fort in Easter 1916 having come ashore in nearby Banna Strand.

The land quality on this farm is excellent and suitable for the widest range of agricultural enterprises. While it is being offered for sale in one lot, it does lend itself to sub-division and the agents are willing to explore all options with genuine prospective purchasers.

Much of the farmyard is recently constructed. A slatted easy-feed wintering unit allows safe trapping and the storage of animal waste, which may be subdivided to meet animal requirements and incorporates a safe labour saving covered animal handling system. There are also a number of dry goods storage sheds in the yard, some of which have silage walls incorporated which increases to options.

There are extensive areas of flat concrete fronting the covered areas and these are designed to eliminate the possibility of any soiled liquids escaping from the system.

The dwelling is really the jewel in the crown as it is strategically located on the verge of the farm. It is orientated to take full advantage of the stunning views of the Sliabh Mish Mountains, Tralee Bay with all its northern inlets, and, of course, the setting sun to the west.

The house itself is an ‘architect designed’ structure and is almost impossible to describe with words such is the quality. This is a structure designed, built and finished to meticulous standards. It is spacious and would make an ideal family home, or due to its location it could be used for commercial purposes.

Overall, this residential holding offers an opportunity for investors to either consider the purchase for standalone farming purposes, an add-on to an existing farm, or alternatively it could be used for commercial purposes in the recreational/hospitality sectors.
