Not many farms of over 150ac come on the market, but one has recently emerged in north Tipperary. It is a residential holding of 167.65ac outside Nenagh.
It is being sold by Sherry FitzGerald Talbot and goes for auction in early May.
The farm is located near Portroe at Landsdown.
It’s an interesting location – Nenagh is just 12km away with its access to the M7 motorway.
In the other direction is Lough Derg, with the various attractions presented by the River Shannon.
There is good access out to fields by a central roadway.
The farm is also just 2km from Portroe, located along the R494 and then up a side road. Garrykennedy, on Lough Derg, is 4km away.
Land layout
The land is in one block and divided into about 12 main fields. It has frontage on the local road. Two thirds of the land – 103ac – is described as top-quality grassland.
Most of the land is top-quality pasture land.
