McQuinn Property Services, Tralee has presented a 42.9ac non-residential farm on the edge of Ardfert village to the market.
The tillage farm at Cloon Glebe, Ardfert, Co Kerry is for sale by private treaty and is available in its entirety or in two lots.
Lot 1 consists of 23.9ac of prime agricultural land along with a roadside farmyard. Within the yard there are an array of buildings including a pair of round roofed hay sheds with lean-tos, storage sheds, an old dung-stead and some other structures that have lost their roofs. A good proportion of the yard is also concreted. This lot is zoned for agricultural use.
Alongside it is Lot 2 which is the balance of the land, approximately 19ac. Some of this land is zoned for agriculture too but part of it is also categorised as mixed use and strategic reserve within the Ardfert settlement boundary in the Kerry County Council County Development plan.
The circa 42.9ac farm on the outskirts of Ardfert, Co Kerry is for sale by private treaty.
Location, location
Location is a big factor. It is 8km north of Tralee, and backs on to some housing developments in Ardfert. On the western side of the R551 between Ardfert and Tralee, the property has road frontage onto a local road on the eastern boundary.
A feature in Kerry housing in recent years has been the development of smaller towns and villages close to the bigger towns in the county.
With that in mind, some prospective buyers may consider some or all of this land as having long or short-term development potential.
Auctioneer, Eamonn McQuinn says: “This is one of the finest parcels of land in north Kerry on the market.
The top quality land has been in tillage for many years.
“The farm is renowned for its exceptional agricultural quality making it perfectly suited for both intensive tillage and grassland farming.
“It includes a roadside farmyard and benefits from partial zoning, offering great potential for a range of uses.”
There’s a strong possibility that non-agricultural factors could be at play in this sale as part of the farm is zoned and has a range of potential uses.
A guide price of €2.2m on the entire is reflective of the mixed zone nature of the property and it’ll be an interesting one to watch.
