'Good level of interest' in 34-acre South Tipp farm for May auction
With the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant offering up to €50,000, properties such as this one find themselves in greater demand than ever.
Coming up for sale by online auction on the May 22 next is a 34-acre holding at Derryhogan, Littleton, South Tipperary.
Located 2.5km east of Littleton village and 11km from Thurles, with convenient proximity to the M8, the property is in tillage at the moment but, as Liam O’Grady of Tipperary-town-based selling agents DNG Liam O’Grady Auctioneers says, it is a land parcel suitable for all types of farming.
“The lands are laid out in one block,” Mr O'Grady says, “and they’re suitable for any farming enterprise, including beef, tillage dairying, equestrian or even hobby farming.”
The size of the holding, coupled with the fact that there’s a traditional dwelling on site may well attract a number of people looking to make a home and carry out some smaller-scale farming enterprise.
The house itself is, the agents say, in need of renovation. It has, however, the benefit of water and electricity.
With the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant offering up to €50,000, properties such as this one find themselves in greater demand than ever.
Whether the land or the house will emerge as the more important factor in deciding this holding’s future, there should be a good online attendance on the day in question.
The price guide of €525,000 (€15,400/acre) is certainly a reasonable one given the package on offer.
