Dairy farm exceeds €1.3m price guide

It was guided at €1.3 million on these pages over a month ago and now the modern dairy farm located at Scart, Ballyclough, has made that and a bit more in negotiations which followed its auction last week.

At the sale of the 123-acre farm, handled by Christy Buckley and Pat Burton, there were over 30 people in the room, for a property which has been round the sales block before.

Described as a fine ready-to-go dairy farm, the property attracted two main bidders when it opened last week, and from €800,000, it was bid up to €960,000 — at which stage it was withdrawn, says Buckley, with negotiations beginning immediately afterwards.
