While progress is continually being made in Co Kerry to incentivise generational renewal, limited land mobility is still a challenge. Against that backdrop, this ready-to-milk 29ac residential dairy in Causeway is an interesting prospect.

At the focal point of the farm is the spacious five-bedroom, two-storey farmhouse. Recently refurbished, the residence is tastefully decorated and move-in ready. Outside, an adjacent concrete hardstanding leads to a large, well-designed yard that is equipped for a modern dairy operation. Livestock accommodation includes a 54-unit cubicle building with dedicated calving and rearing areas, supported by effective slurry management and pollution control systems.

Dairy infrastructure comprises an eight-unit herringbone parlour, an automatic in-parlour meal-feeding system, a plant room, an ice-water bulk milk tank and integrated drafting facilities. Arranged for ease of stock movement with an arterial roadway, the land is good quality and all in grass.

While the 29ac is tight for a complete dairy enterprise, the established house and yard are likely to appeal to existing operators and neighbouring landowners seeking a well-equipped platform that can be bolted onto an existing farm.

Located 6km from the north Kerry village of Causeway and 12km from the seaside town of Ballyheigue, the parcel is within reach of a variety of local shops and schools. The market town of Tralee is 22km south, providing a broader range of amenities and services.

With several large dairy operations already in the vicinity, interest is already strong in the farm, and further enquiries are expected.

Guided in the region of €850,000, the holding is for sale by private treaty with Eamonn McQuinn auctioneers.
