A 56ac Golden Vale non-residential farm heads for public auction at the end of March. All in one block and laid out in eight large fields, this grassland holding at Cloughaready, Emly, Co Tipperary is south facing and the majority of it is in good condition with a small bit of work needed on a portion of the ground. The county bounds of both Limerick and Tipperary intersect on this farm with portions of it in either county.

The lands are well sheltered and fenced and are suitable for any farming enterprise. Centrally located in the property and 250m from the public road, the farmyard has a range of old buildings with a nod to its dairy past.

A three-bay cubicle shed, and three-column haybarn are the most notable buildings while there is also a walled silage pit and an open slurry pit. While it requires modernisation, nonetheless it provides a solid foundation to develop a yard around in the future.

The fact there are no BISS entitlements included in the sale could be an extra attraction.

The yard is centrally located on the property and contains a number of structures from its dairy past including a cubicle shed.

Guiding the farm at €15,000/ac, auctioneer, Matt Ryan said: “There’s good quality land and there’s massive potential in the farm. It’s a long time since it was a dairy farm but the old buildings remain. It has been let with a long number of years and it comes to the market now with vacant possession.”

Listed with Tipperary Town-based auctioneers, Matthew Ryan & Son, this property is served by a wide road network. The roadside holding is adjacent to the cross of Knockane and both Pallasgreen and Emly are within 5km while it’s a 20-minute drive to Limerick City.

The public auction takes place at 1pm on Tuesday 31 March at Ballykisteen Hotel, Limerick Junction, Co Tipperary.
