A 61-acre property 25km west of Tralee and 18km south of Abbeyfeale, close to the N21 Limerick-Tralee road is being sold in four separate lots by Tralee-based auctioneer Brendan Mannix, attracting plenty of interest and some offers.

Located in the townland of Meenleitrim South, Lot 1 consists of 5.6 acres of agricultural land which is described as “good quality summer grazing grounds” by Brendan who adds, “They’re well managed by the current tenant and he uses them for grazing, as well as for hay and silage.” 

The property has good natural boundaries with forestry on three sides. The asking price is €40,000 (€7,100/acre) and there is already an offer of that price, according to the selling agent.

Lot 2 is an 11-acre parcel of good-quality summer grazing grounds to the rear of the house. This section is in two lots, with forestry to the northern boundary and with road frontage of approximately 250 metres in total in two stretches. The asking price is €80,000 (€7,300/acre).

Lot 3 is the house on approximately 0.85 acres. The home is a bungalow built in the 1970s and in need of renovation. Accommodation includes three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and sitting room. There is currently an offer in excess of the asking price of €95,000.

Lot 4 is the largest – extending to 43 acres in total, it is accessed from a forestry road and contains a mixture of grassland (23 acres) and forestry land (approximately 20 acres). The asking price is €315,000 (€7,300/acre).
