Only half of 2006 price sought for farm

AMAZING interest is how auctioneer William Talbot describes reaction to the sale of a 100-acre farm at Ballingarry in north Tipperary.

And most of the enquiries on this non-residential sale have been from genuine callers, he says — in other words, local farmers with an interest in expanding. He’s had the odd overture from other parts of the country too, and sees the strong reaction as a positive market indictor.

The farm is good quality arable land, he points out, all in one block with significant frontage onto the N52, the Birr to Borrisokane road.
