A 123 acre farm in South Tipperary is heading for public auction in early March and Carrick-on-Suir-based auctioneer Shee and Hawe has reported plenty of interest in the property since it has been advertised, from both locals and parties further away.

The farm at Whitehall, Grangemockler, is in an attractive rural setting and prime farming country in south Tipperary. Described as top-quality land, it is available in its entirety (Lot A) or can be sold in lots. Lot B consists of 100 acres that have been in permanent pasture for the past seven years and prior to this were used for growing cereals and potatoes.

The 123 acres of very good quality land is divided by a public road into one large block of 100 acres and a smaller holding of 23 acres.

Just across a local road from this is Lot C, which contains the balance of 23 acres. Divided into three fields of various acreage, this land has always been in permanent pasture and it has frontage on to the River Lingaun on its boundary.

All the lands have mature trees and hedging on the external boundaries as well as between the various fields and there is a mains water supply.

The smaller 23 acre block has always been in pasture.

The property is located just 1.6km from the N76 Kilkenny-Clonmel road at Grangemockler village, 13km from Callan, 20km from Clonmel and 34km from Kilkenny.

The 123 acres of very good quality lands are being sold by public auction

The public auction takes place at 12pm on Friday 3 March in The Carraig Hotel, Carrick-on-Suir.

This land is guided at €13,000-€15,000/acre but given the land market at present there’s every chance this could be exceeded.
