Prime 250-acre, 154,000 gallon Offaly dairy farm under negotiation

ONE of the best dairy farms in the country, according to auctioneer, Paddy Jordan, failed to sell at auction last week and was withdrawn at €3.73 million, a shave under the guide price of €4m.

The 250-acre, 154,000 gallon dairy farm is now under negotiation and because of the quality of the property, Paddy Jordan, expects a private treaty sale at, or near, the guide price. Clonlack House, near Rhode, Co Offaly, includes two residences, extensive farm buildings and 37.5 acres of forestry.
