Due for auction with REA Dooley Group next month, is a compact 42.5ac block of land in the heart of the Golden Vale at Cappanafaraha, Bruree, Co Limerick.

Comprising 37ac of good-quality land in large divisions, together with 5.5ac of mature forestry along the rear perimeter, the parcel is well laid out.

Established trees and hedgerows form the boundaries between the fields, which all benefit from water supply.

While the land currently contains no buildings, its orientation parallel to the N20 road provides 830m of frontage, presenting scope for future one-off housing, subject to planning.

This possibility will likely be strengthened when the road becomes a secondary route following the completion of the new stretch of Limerick to Cork motorway.

Located in a strong dairy hinterland, the farm would provide useful additional grazing for replacement heifers and may appeal to local farmers seeking to expand their existing enterprise, as well as those looking to secure a versatile plot of land in a convenient location with residential potential to serve the next generation.

Strong interest

Interest has been strong to date, with enquiries coming from both farmers and businesspeople.

Well-connected to the surrounding region, the farm is two kilometres west of the village of Bruree, while the towns of Kilmallock, Co Limerick and Charleville, Co Cork, are both less than 10km away.

This puts all key retail, leisure and agricultural amenities within easy reach, including one of the country’s largest livestock marts.

Guided at €12,000/ac, the auction will take place on Friday 4 September at 3pm in the Charleville Park Hotel, Co Cork.
