Set for auction on Tuesday 21 July is a residential farm in Bohergeela, Meanus, Co Limerick.

Listed by REA Dooley, the holding comprises a two-storey four-bedroom farmhouse, a range of traditional agricultural buildings, and 181ac of prime Golden Vale land.

While requiring modernisation, the 142 sq m dwelling offers ample space for family living and is likely to qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (VPRG).

Adjoining the house is a 76.5 sq m two-bay garage, providing further scope for redevelopment, subject to the necessary permission.

The practical farmyard has plenty of hardstanding space for livestock and machinery storage. Facilities include a five-column haybarn, two-cubicle shed, and three stables. There are also several stone outbuildings. A key highlight of the property is the layout of the land.

Auctioneer Pat Dooley says: “A lot of farms come up that are broken up into different areas, but this is all in one block, all in permanent pasture, and well-fenced. It’s a great package.”

Guided at €2.5m for the entire, buyers will also be able to bid on the house on 25ac, guiding at €600,000, and the remaining 156ac, guiding at €1.9m.

Located less than 1km from Meanus village, the farm is within easy reach of local shops and amenities.

The town of Bruff, Co Limerick, lies 6km south, while the city of Limerick is 20km to the north.

The property comes on the back of the recent sale of a similar Co Limerick farm at auction in late April, when a 220ac residential holding in Feenagh, Co Limerick sold for €3.82m.
