Model Dairy Farm - Tipperary
Jordan Auctioneers, Newbridge together with Dougan FitzGerald, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary have been jointly instructed in the sale of a model dairy farm with residence, extensive yards and 160 acres of top – quality limestone land at Suircastle, Golden, Co.Tipperary.
Located in the heart of the Golden Vale, Suircastle is accessible to several surrounding towns including Golden 6km, Cashel 13km, Cahir 14km and Tipperary Town 15km. The M8 is accessible at Junctions 9 or 10 with Cork circa 90km and Limerick 55km.
Originally a tillage farm the current owner purchased the holding in 2003 and has turned it into a substantial dairy enterprise and one of the finest ready to go operations to come for sale in recent years.
Most of the buildings are practically brand-new with housing for 300 cows, and up to 500 head of stock in total. The 14 – unit milking machine has a 10,500-litre bulk-tank and a feed silo. The collecting yard is slatted and contains a long feeding trough where the cows can graze while waiting to be milked. The biggest shed is a 12-column, double A-roof structure with 200 cubicles, automatic scrapers and feeding passages. Another shed is home to 84 cubicles, while an open-air cubicle unit has 60 spaces on rubber mats. Other buildings include machinery sheds, fodder storage sheds, a smaller slatted feeding unit and two silage pits.
The land comprises a total area of approximately 64.7 hectares (160 acres) with circa 147 acres in the main block and a 13-acre parcel directly across the road. The land has all been designed for the easy management of the current dairy operation with internal roads and a paddock-based system all centred around the farmyard.
The 4-bedroom dormer residence is set back from the road and is in very good condition throughout, ideal for an Owner Occupier or Manager.
The Joint Agents are guiding a figure of €2,500,000 for the entire property which is for sale by Private Treaty. If you require further information, please contact Jordan Auctioneers on 045-433550 or Dougan Fitzgerald on 052-6121003.
