€1.4m tag on prime Limerick property

A substantial farm of land, in a good area, with a number of big operators, should see good bidding for auctioneer, John Flynn.

He’s selling this single block of grassland at Lisduane, Kilmallock, Co Limerick, by private treaty and gives a reasonable guide of €8,000 per acre, or €1.4m for the 174-acre, non residential holding. And the agent almost goes as far as to say it’s a blank canvas — it is strictly non-res, without even a farm yard of any sort, which Flynn says can be a blessing, in that there’s no dross to deal with and an enterprising new owner can start from scratch without the bother of clearance.

And he could be right. The farm, which has a chequered history and was part of a development play in the time we all want to forget, has been farmed well for the past while and is now being offered for sale, John Flynn says.
