The 78ac residential farm is located at Liscahane East on the outskirts of Tralee. The property has dairy conversion potential and includes 10ac of forestry.
A series of outhouses to the rear of the dwelling have a courtyard aspect to them and, while in need of total refurbishment, they could be converted for a variety of uses.
The holding has real potential as a dairy farm given its location in prime dairy country.
The farm is being offered for sale by private treaty in its entirety or in lots. The dwelling on 2.2ac has a guide price of €225,000.
The second lot, extending 76ac, is guided at €600,000 or around €8,000/ac, while the entire on 77.8ac is guided at €825,000.
Intensive dairying
It was originally a tillage farm before being laid down in permanent pasture. Selling agent Eamonn McQuinn of McQuinn Property Services gives the context: “As was typical of the big switch to intensive dairying in North Kerry during the late 1960’s and 1970’s, this land was freshly reseeded, central farm roadways were constructed and a relatively inexpensive and simple farmyard was constructed, he says. The land was divided into a paddock system and was serviced with a good water and power supply. Increased cow numbers followed.” The farm has direct access from the public road on two sides.”
