A 33ac holding near Cashel in Co Tipperary is likely to attract both farmers and speculators who may see future development potential in this central Munster location.

On the books of Cashel Mart’s Property and Land Sales in Tipperary the land at Knocksaintlour, Cashel, is described as being exceptional agricultural land and is suitable to a range of agricultural activities.

Land type

Set in an area with a strong affinity with farming, the ground is located on an elevated site overlooking the M8 motorway to the south of Cashel with views back over the town.

All in one block, this farm is laid out in four principal divisions with mature hedges creating the boundary to the fields.

There is also a good hedgerow along the roadside ditches.

Being an elevated site in a relatively low-lying area these hedges can provide great coverage for livestock (and biodiversity) in times of bad weather. Rented out in recent years, the farm is currently in permanent pasture and is free draining.

Accessibility

The fact that the entrance to the land is located only a minute drive from junction nine of the M8 Dublin to Cork motorway makes this farm easily accessible, furthering its appeal to both farmers and non-farmers.

Although it is zoned as agricultural, its vicinity to the famous south Tipperary town and the M8 is likely to put this on the radar of speculators.

Plenty of value

Alison De Vere Hunt of Cashel Mart’s Property and Land Sales described it as “the type of land that can be farmed pretty much all year round”.

She add: “This is a property with plenty of hope value. Its close proximity to the town of Cashel and with outstanding views of the iconic Rock of Cashel and Galtee Mountains mean there’s a chance there could be residential development here in time.

“The fact the Premier County was listed in noted travel bible Condé Nast as one of its 22 destinations to visit in 2022 could help too.”

For sale by private treaty, this farm is guided in the region of €600,000, putting it at roughly €18,000/ac.
