Sale in three lots of appealing farm

IT has a solid, two-storey farmhouse at its centre, and this 133-acre dairy farm at Rathcannon, Athlacca, is going to auction on the 20th of this month.

This executor’s sale is price guided at the one million euro mark by Phillip Purcell of GVM, who is prepared to sell in three lots.

The land was grazed by a ‘typical Limerick farmer’, according to Purcell, who along with cattle kept and trained horses, and occasionally had a winner – which is why there are 10 stables with an old-fashioned yard that includes a 62-head cubicle shed.
