A 95.5ac residential farm has come on the market at Ardfinnan, Co Tipperary. The holding is at Ballyknockane and is being sold by Dougan Fitzgerald.

The farm is for sale by private treaty but, according to auctioneer John Fitzgerald, may go to public auction later this month or in early August.

Lying midway between Tipperary town and Cahir, this is an area of very good land. The farming is a mix of dairy, drystock and tillage.

Land in this area meets strong demand, so it should sell quickly.

The farm for sale lies in one block. The land lies in 12 main fields and has road frontage. At the far end, it bounds the River Suir. The fields are all in clean permanent pasture.

There are mature hedge boundaries and water supply is laid on to all fields. The house is a traditional style residence. It has been unoccupied for some time and now needs modernising and upgrading.

There are also a number of outbuildings alongside the house.

Needs upgrading

The farm is being offered with entitlements to EU payment schemes and with mountain grazing rights.

Further details on the entitlements are available from the auctioneers.

The farm is being offered in lots. Lot 1 is c75.1ac with the farmhouse and out offices. Lot 2 is c20.3ac with frontage to the River Suir.

The guide price is €16,000/ac to €17,000/ac.
