Vendor asks €9m for Lisselan farm
Lisselan highlighted the strength of the dairy sector in particular in an economy that was moribund at the time. The sale saw huge interest and made a record price for the country, as well as the county, at the time. It was purchased by a well-know dairying family from Bandon.
This time round, who will buy the remainder of the Blackburn-family owned estate? Quatari buyers have been quite prominent of late, in prime bloodstock breeding areas of Tipperary and Limerick — perhaps the home of Imperial Call may be the calling card for single strong buyer? Because that’s what’s needed in this single-lot, 9million sale of 310 acres. Vendors are again the Blackburn family — who are perhaps best known for having the master franchise for Mitsubishi in the British Isles and who have also concentrated on bloodstock in recent years.
