Lush parcel in heart of Kingdom

A LUSH, fertile parcel of Beauty’s Home is up for sale this week, and joint agents Tom Spillane and Billy O’Shea are looking for strong money for the land at Beaufort, Killarney.

On the Gap of Dunloe, this parcel comprises 37 acres in two blocks of level, quality grazing, a mile from the village of Beaufort and six miles from Killarney.

The area has some of the best quality land in Co Kerry, says Spillane, who is seeking a stiff €18,000 per acre for the properties on offer – the equivalent of €660,000 for the entire property.

“That’s probably on the high side, but land like this doesn’t come up for sale, you’re looking at lovely farmland with good road and river frontage,” he says.

There is the option of including a modern farm residence with the property, and old farm buildings and sheds are attached to the smaller of the two blocks. This comprises eight acres with frontage on two roads and a river. It’s separated by a road from the larger block, which is 29 acres, and also comes with excellent frontage.

Sheltered by the mature and ancient woodland of Killarney’s National Park, the land is close to Kate Kearney’s Cottage and the Gap of Dunloe.

The sale is by private treaty at the moment, but the joint agents are prepared to go to auction with the land, if needs be.
