‘Farm of a lifetime’ hits the market in Limerick with a guide price of €3.5m

“TRULY one of the best farms that has come up in the Mid-West region for some time,” is how Limerick-based auctioneer Pat Dooley describes a 220 acre residential holding in Gortmore, Feenagh.

The group director of REA Dooley Group said: “This is the farm of a lifetime and must be seen to be appreciated.”

The Leader understands a figure of €3.5m is being guided for the farm located in a very rich hinterland of dairy farmers. 

Mr Dooley spoke to the Leader before it had even been advertised on their website but his phone was already hopping.

“There's no shortage of interest at the moment. There have been dairy farmers and business people from Limerick and around the country. This is an exceptional farm of land -  it ticks all the boxes,” said Mr Dooley.

The property is for sale by public and online auction in the Charleville Park Hotel at 3pm on Thursday, April 30 (unless previously sold). It will be offered for sale in its entirety or in different lots.

The farm is of excellent quality, all in permanent pasture and reseeded down through the years. It is laid out in easily managed divisions, well-fenced with access to mains water.

For ease of access there are two farm roadways going through the farm from both the southern and western boundaries. The farm buildings consist of a 3 column hay barn, cubicle shed, storage shed and other old ancillary outbuildings. 

The residence consists of a four bedroom two-storey traditional style farmhouse which was recently rented out but in need of modernisation. 

Mr Dooley highlights the excellent location in the village of Feenagh and its future development potential. There is extensive road frontage on two adjoining roads. 

“The main sewer actually runs on the farm so there is good scope for future development with ample road frontage for one-off houses,” said Mr Dooley.

Feenagh is located 20 minutes from Charleville and Newcastle West and approximately 35 minutes from Limerick city so there is even the possibility of a housing estate in years to come.
