Switch to private treaty sale for 44-acre residential farm
A residential farm located in South County Limerick between the N21 and the N20 will not, after all, go for public auction at the end of the month.
It is, however, a case of business going on as usual despite the best efforts of the Covid-19 virus to stymie proceedings, according to selling agent Pat Kearney of Rooney Auctioneers’ Limerick.
“The owners have decided not to go ahead with the public auction, so it’s now for sale by private treaty,” says Pat, who confirms that unqualified offers have been made on the farm.
The property in question is in the townland of Mundelilihy, approximately 14km south-east of Newcastle West, 5km from the village of Dromcollogher and 22km from Charleville in Co Cork.
“It’s a nice piece of land. The property is at the end of a cul-de-sac road. It has been well maintained,” says Pat.
The holding is just off the Newcastle-Dromcollogher road.
According to the selling agents, it’s a compact well-fenced holding of approximately 44.3 acres, laid out in easily managed fields.
A stream runs through the farm, providing a water supply that is then piped to the fields.
The bungalow-style residence is in reasonable condition, with central heating and double-glazed windows, but needing modernisation.
Accommodation includes two bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, reception room, bathroom and two additional attic rooms.
Outbuildings include a three-column hay barn and a range of sheds.
The price guide is €400,000 (€9,000/acre).
