Kerry’s Maine attraction is working farm of 97 acres
Auctioneer Jim Burns is selling this fine property at Callinafercy, located off the main Milltown-Killorglin road, guide priced at €1.3m €1.4m.
The property comprise 97 acres and in an area where farmland rarely changes hands, says Burns.
The residential sale includes a lovely, fully refurbished farmhouse and an impeccable yard with a range of new buildings.
The house and yard are set in the centre of the farm, and there’s excellent road frontage, because the farm is bisected by the main road and also by a minor road, which would lend itself to the sale of building sites, suggests the selling agent.
However, as a modern, working farm, this is a rare opportunity and might suit a young farmer starting up, says Burns.
Any waste on the land has been turned to profit with forestry, a longer term investment which pulls in premium income of €9,000.
The Callinafercy farm has a great location, just four miles from Killorglin, two miles from Milltown, close to Tralee and Killarney, with part of the land running down to the shores of Castlemaine Harbour.
In one block, it has substantial road frontage and includes internal roadways. Ideally suited to dairying (it comes with a modern, six-unit milking parlour) the farm is being offered in a variety of lots, but ideally, should be purchased in the entire, because a farm of this size is difficult to find, and presents an ideal opportunity to increase an existing holding or to work in partnership with another.
The farm includes the two-storey residence of 2,300 square feet. with 1.5 acres of gardens and paddock, including stables.
The yard has two slatted sheds with connected haybarn and two lean-tos — with total capacity for 170 cattle, and includes cubicles and automatic scrapers.
It also has a covered and uncovered silage pit and bulk tank area with 10-ton meal bin, collecting yard and milking parlour.
The property is for sale by private treaty, but has a closing date for offers on December 1.
