Several notable land sales in Co Tipperary in recent weeks highlight the continued appetite for quality Golden Vale land, with other parcels now expected to draw similar interest in the south of the county.

In Killurney, eight miles from Clonmel, a 78.5ac farm is for sale by private treaty with Stokes Property. Set out in a single block with four well-fenced divisions, the parcel benefits from good frontage along the Ballypatrick to Fethard road.

While in tillage for the last seven years, the land was previously used successfully as productive fattening ground for a drystock enterprise. A large stream runs along the northern boundary, with a second stream running through the block, providing a reliable water supply.

Guided at €1.5m, interest has been strong to date in the farm. With several established equestrian, dairy and beef operators nearby, the parcel is likely to appeal to local expansion.

The 78.5ac parcel in Killurney, Clonmel, is currently in tillage.

Further north, a 58.5ac block in Lurgoe, Killenaule, is for sale by private treaty with Maher auctioneers. In very good condition throughout, the land is well-fenced and has decent frontage, indicating the possibility of site potential, subject to planning.

Currently in tillage, the parcel would be equally suited to permanent pasture, grazing, livestock farming, or general agricultural use, making it amenable to a range of farming enterprises.

Strategically located close to the villages of Killenaule and Horse and Jockey, the farm is within reach of a range of local amenities, and access to the M8 motorway linking Dublin and Cork lies 15 minutes north.

Guided at €500,000, the farm is likely to interest locals looking for an expansion block, those wishing to establish a base in a highly regarded farming location, and those looking for a long-term investment.
