186-acre Kerry farm: Quantity, quality, and swathes of charm
Some of the quality grazing on the 186-acre farm at Coomastow, Caherciveen, Co Kerry.
Located in a stunning part of the Kingdom of Kerry, a 15-minute drive from Caherciveen and Waterville, a 186-acre farm is new to the market with Caherciveen-based auctioneers The Property Shop.
The holding is at Coomastow and has good access with a public road going through it and consists mainly of mountain grazing and lowlands.
“The land includes about 20 acres that you can cut silage from,” says selling agent James Hillis, “which the current owners do every year – the lower parts of it.”
There is a collection of outbuildings coming with the farm too.
These include a six-bay shed with three bays slatted and the remaining three bays with a flat concrete floor. It offers the potential for accommodating 60 or more cattle, depending on age and size.
There is also a cattle-handling yard equipped with a cattle rush, as well as a sheep-handling yard which includes a sheep run and dipping tank. Mr Hillis says:
Aesthetically speaking, the property is very attractive with stunning views.
“They’re outstanding views,” says James. “You’ve got the ocean, you’ve got the mountains, you’ve got the valley… the whole thing.”
The price guide quoted is €800,000. At €4,300/acre, it may well go some way north of that figure.
The agents are also open to the property being sold in lots, depending on how the demand pans out over the coming period.
Furthermore, there will be an opportunity to purchase a house separately.
