A fine 73.5ac farm with a two-storey, stone-built farmhouse and stone outbuildings is on the market in Co Clare. The property is based at Toonagh, near Tulla, and is being sold jointly by Pat Considine Auctioneers and Munster Property Auctions. It goes up for online auction next month and a starting bid price of €750,000 will apply.

The property is in a convenient location – 700m along a local road off the Ennis to Tulla road (R352). It is approximately 5km from Tulla, 10km from the M18 motorway and 13km from the centre of Ennis.

Grassland

The land is in one block and is level, good-quality grassland that’s suited for grazing and mowing. It is laid out in six main, good-sized fields that are well fenced, with well-maintained boundary ditches. Mature trees give good shelter also.

A number of outbuildings come with the farm.

The long line of stone outbuildings in the yard are old in design but they are in reasonable repair. They are divided into a number of sections.

There is also a three-bay round-roofed hayshed that’s in good repair and a cattle crush and holding pens alongside. Water supply to the farm and house is from an adjoining river.

The auctioneers say that the holding is one of the finest farms to come on the market in Clare for some time.

The house

The five-bed house is in good condition but requires some modernisation. Downstairs there is an entrance hall, a back kitchen, living room, sitting room with a solid fuel Stanley range, and en-suite bedroom with walk-in wardrobe.

The farm comes with a five-bed traditional farmhouse.

Upstairs there are four additional bedrooms and a bathroom. To the front of the house there is a lawn garden area.

The auctioneers say that the holding is one of the finest farms to come on the market in the county for some time, with exceptional quality land renowned locally for its fattening qualities.

The auction takes place on Wednesday 1 December at 12pm.
