A "superb" 190-acre dairy farm in the Golden Vale represents a golden opportunity so it isn’t any surprising that it is going up for public auction.
The property is Clare House at Kilcolman near Newcastle West, County Limerick. GVM Auctioneers will be holding the auction at their premises on Glentworth Street in Limerick city centre on Wednesday, May 29.
“It’s a top-class farm that’s been nurtured and developed over many years,” said selling agent Tom Crosse. “It's an excellent platform for dairying, beef or equestrian enterprises.
“It has been very well cared for over time, and it has very good soil quality. It’s really not often at all that you get a farm like this one – in Limerick or anywhere else in Munster. It’s quite special.
“There are lovely trees on the way into it along a sweeping driveway. It’s like parkland. It’s a very classy place all round.”
The dwelling dates from the 1870s; a substantial five-bedroom home that has also been very well maintained, with a courtyard with cut-stone stores and sheds.
Outbuildings include a 16-unit herringbone milking parlour, large open sheds with easy-feed passageway, silage apron, calf shed, hay shed and cattle crush.
The property will be presented in a choice of five lots (including the entire), with a price guide of €3,000,000 (€15,800/acre).
