Large Golden Vale parcels have featured heavily on the market this year, with strong sales results indicating continued demand. Less common are farms with solid yards and modernised homes ready for immediate operation.
Set to go under the hammer with GVM next month is this residential holding in Thomastown, Kilfinane. At 100ac, it offers a scale that can sustain a meaningful agricultural enterprise, while remaining manageable and within reach of ambitious new farming entrants or those looking to establish their own operation.
Set along the roadside, the two-storey three-bedroom traditional farmhouse has been updated over the years and is suited to comfortable family living. To the rear, several ancillary sheds and outbuildings provide storage space. This area opens into the main farmyard, which also benefits from independent road access. Facilities here include a hay barn, cubicle shed, three-bay, double-slatted shed and a silage slab.
Set out in a single block of large, well-fenced fields, the land is very good quality, supported by the sloping topography which offers natural drainage. Access to each plot is provided via a central farm roadway. Decent road frontage and proximity to local amenities may present an opportunity for site potential, subject to planning.
While currently used for drystock, the versatility and scale of the holding make it amenable to all types of agricultural use, including beef, dairy, equestrian and hobby farming.
Guided at €1m, the farm will be auctioned on Wednesday 23 September at 3pm at the Deebert House Hotel, Kilmallock, Co Limerick, with online bidding also available through the LSL app.
