Tipperry farm near Borrisokane offers variety on 90 acres

The majority of the lands (54 acres) consists of what the agents describe as mainly good-quality agricultural land, with another section (33.5 acres) under mixed forestry and the remaining 2.5 acres consisting of bog in a number of separate small blocks.

Located approximately 5km northeast of Borrisokane in County Tipperary, a 90-acre holding is new to the market with Birr-based Central Auctioneers and attracting good interest.

The property contains a number of attractive elements and mixed land use.

“It’s a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial holding extending to approximately 90 acres,” says selling agent Jim Cashen.

The majority of the lands (54 acres) consists of what the agents describe as mainly good-quality agricultural land, with another section (33.5 acres) under mixed forestry and the remaining 2.5 acres consisting of bog in a number of separate small blocks.

“The main large block is suitable for most farming enterprises,” says Jim. “It includes a traditional farmyard with a range of old agricultural buildings, including stables, a round-roof hay shed and a cattle crush.”

An important attraction is the derelict traditional farmhouse. 

With the acute housing shortage in the country and the availability of grants to help people bring such properties back to use as a principal home, the value of such properties has strengthened in recent years, even adding to the appeal of larger holdings such as this one for those looking for a lifestyle farm.

“With Borrisokane just 10 minutes away, you’ve convenient access to local amenities, while enjoying the privacy of the countryside,” says Jim. 

“And for farmers seeking to expand their holding, forestry investors or purchasers looking for a versatile agricultural property with existing farm infrastructure, this is an excellent opportunity.”

The price guide is a reasonable €900,000 (€10,000/acre).
