48-acre quality Tipperary farm "with potential" for sale

Some of the 48-acre farm with Galtee Mountains Behind

New to the market with Cahir-based Caplice Auctioneers is a 48-acre farm in the Glen of Aherlow area.

Located in the townland of Dromarka, the holding is all in grass, representing some of the finest pastures in this scenic corner of the Premier County. It’s at the foot of the Galtee Mountains near the village of Rossadrehid; 6km from Bansha and 16km from Cahir.

“This is a farm of good, dry land,” said selling agent Patrick Caplice. “It’s mostly free of waste and all in grass at present.”

The property also benefits from the presence of a derelict farmhouse – something that will be of some benefit to the next owner, either to renovate and live in it or renovate and let it out. This comes with a collection of outbuildings as well.

The holding has a good deal of road frontage, with the public road cutting through part of the lands on the northern side and a stream from the River Aherlow runs along the eastern boundary.

While farmlands in South Tipperary represent some of the most sought-after in the country, this particular part of the county is more famous for its scenery than its land quality. 

That said, this is a fine quality, accessible farm and one that has been well looked after over the years. It’s a considerable size and, with the derelict house and outbuildings, it offers interesting extra potential.

The price guide is €12,000/acre, and the agents say that the property is open to offers.
