175-acre farm straddles Waterford townlands
So says auctioneer Pat Harty who’s selling Shanakill and Boolaclogh at Rathgormack, mid-way between major towns of the county and of south Tipperary. Just two miles from the village of Rathgormack, and off the Dungarvan to Carrick-on-Suir road, the property is in three divisions, and offers a number of options to buyers. The agents, Harty and Co, quote a guide price of €2.2 million to €2.4m for the farm, which has top quality arable land, all in grass, save for 30 acres of forestry.
According to Pat Harty, the main bulk of the farm, some 97 acres, is in reseeded pasture, renowned for its beef fattening qualities. Another 48-acre block has been used for silage this year, and the remainder of the farm is made up of soft-wood forestry.
