The recent run of large Golden Vale farms coming to market continues with Ardmore House, a 112ac residential farm in Coolyhenan, Drombanna, Co Limerick, which will go under the GVM hammer next month.

Split into three parcels on either side of the Commons Road linking Drombanna to Ballysimon, the farm includes a 47ac plot containing a house and outbuildings, guided at €1m; a 50ac block of land on the opposite side of the road, guided at €800,000; and an adjoining 15ac parcel, guided at €200,000.

Situated on the roadside, the two-bedroom bungalow is in good structural condition, though it could benefit from some modernisation for comfortable family living.

It is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG) and energy upgrade supports. To the rear of the dwelling, a range of traditional stone sheds provide storage and workshop space.

To the rear of the house, several old stone outbuildings offer storage and workshop space.

While in good structural condition, the house could benefit from modernisation, and is likely to qualify for the VPRG and energy upgrade supports.

Laid out in large divisions with mature hedgerow boundaries, the 47ac and 50ac parcels consist of good quality land, while the 15ac is mixed ground. All three plots are free draining and are suited to a variety of uses including beef, dairying, equestrian and hobby farming. With extensive road frontage and proximity to the city, the holding may offer site potential, subject to planning. Easy access to the villages of Ballyneety and Ballysimon, and the M7 motorway linking Limerick to Dublin, puts the farm within close range of all key amenities.

Set for auction on Wednesday 9 September at 3pm in the Kilmurry Lodge Hotel, Limerick, the farm is attracting strong interest from both farmers and businesspeople. Online bidding will be available via the LSL platform.
