A full equipped, residential dairy farm that extends to 290 acres in size has come on the market in Co Antrim. The property is located on the Kilraughts Road on the edge of Ballymoney and is being offered up for sale in four lots.
The farm in it entirety is guided at £4m (€4.6m), or £13,793/acre (€15,863/acre).
The sale is being managed by local auctioneers HA McIlrath and Sons. The Kilrea-based firm described the property as “the largest and finest dairy farm we have ever offered for sale” and they expect a strong show of interest from potential buyers.
The spacious two-storey dwelling house has been well-maintained.
The first lot includes a dwelling house, farmyard and 80.54 acres of land. The land has road frontage and the yard is approached by a wide asphalt lane. The fully functional dairy unit includes a 10-year-old Pearson milking parlour, with 24 units and a 15,000-litre bulk tank.
There are three large cow cubicle sheds, a portal frame calf house, calving pens, a portal frame grain store, two open machinery sheds and an above ground slurry store.
Most of the agricultural land in the first lot is described as arable grade land, with the remainder suitable for both cutting silage and grazing.
