A family farm of 122 acres
The vendors at this Ballyclough, Mallow farm are moving to a property in south Cork, and, as a result, this family farm is on the market with Joe McCarthy of Irish and European.
A fine, 122-acre holding, it’s an exceptional farm, he says, and comes with a modern dairy unit and a milk quota of 66,000 gallons, with a single farm payment of €15,500 per annum.
The land is largely laid out in one block of 95 acres, with house and yard on one side of a country road, and the remainder on the opposite side. The farm is paddocked, with large eight to 10-acre fields, and a central farm roadway. The property is immaculately maintained, with a quality, three-bedroomed bungalow at its centre and a range of spotless, modern farm buildings.
These include a 12-unit milking parlour with automatic feeders, a 60’ by 45’ shed, an 120’ by 40’ slatted shed with automatic scrapers, and a dairy with an 1,100-gallon tank.
The yard has a storehouse for water and electrics, 12 calf pens, a holding yard, and an open silage pit of 120 by 50.
The residence, which is very well-maintained, comes with two reception rooms, a kitchen-dining room, and three bedrooms, with the main bedroom en-suite.
Just less than a mile from the pretty village of Ballyclough, and very close to Mallow, it is a fine, ready-to-go farm, says Joe McCarthy: “There isn’t an ounce of waste on it, it’s an exceptional holding with top-quality land, and similar quality farms would make in the region of €15,000 per acre,” the agent says.
The farm can be bought with or without livestock, that’s how ready-to-go it is, he says.
Joint agent for the property is Derry Walsh, of Sherry FitzGerald Walsh, Charleville.
