In areas dominated by progressive dairy farming, competition for quality expansion land can be fierce. That may explain the keen local interest that Stuart & Co Auctioneers are seeing in this 32ac farm in Currow, Co Kerry.
Set out in a single, level, block of good-quality land, the parcel is currently used by a dairying enterprise for grazing and silage production.
While not connected at present, water and electricity are readily available, and the holding also benefits from a natural boundary along the northwestern perimeter with the Brown Flesk River.
Decent frontage provides convenient access and facilitates easy livestock movement.
Situated at the entrance to Currow village, the farm is 6km from the Co Kerry town of Castleisland, putting a range of agricultural services, including a livestock mart, within easy reach.
For a more comprehensive selection of retail, leisure and educational amenities, the larger towns of Killarney and Tralee are both 20 minutes away by car.
Given its strategic location and good land quality, the holding is likely to appeal to existing milking platforms seeking an outblock for replacements.
With good land in the area fetching in excess of €16,000/ac, the farm is expected to achieve €550,000 - €600,000. It will go under the hammer at the Killarney Plaza Hotel on 19 November at 3pm.
