Coolmore has bought a lot of land in Tipperary in the last decade but the price per acre is not always public knowledge.
Browsing the Sunday papers at the weekend, a story about one of the first and biggest farms the bloodstock empire bought caught my eye in the Sunday Independent.
At the time, the sale price was believed to be in excess of €10m

There is a court case in the offing relating to the late and well-regarded tillage farmer Tony O’Reilly, whose 600ac farm in Grange, close to Clonmel, was acquired by Coolmore in 2013.
At the time, the sale price was believed to be in excess of €10m.
Now, the current court case, relating to the later sale of O’Reilly’s pig farm, has confirmed the 2013 farm sale to have been more than €11m. That equates to over €18,300/ac, including the land and outbuildings.
