Imagine owning a sprawling 64-acre farm in the heart of West Waterford, where convenience meets quality in every acre. But here's where it gets intriguing: this isn't just any farmland—it's a property that's already sparking interest, and for good reason. According to Denis Collins of Collins O’Meara auctioneers, this holding at Tubbernahulla is a rare find, strategically located just 7km from Ballyduff village and a stone's throw from the Cork border. Araglen is equally close, making it a hub of accessibility.
The land itself is a farmer's dream, divided into multiple sections by a public road, ensuring easy access from various points. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about the land—it’s about the potential. Laid out as permanent pasture, it’s primed for any farming activity, thanks to its excellent drainage and fertile quality. Plus, there’s an internal farm roadway and multiple entry points from two public roads, making logistics a breeze.
But what truly sets this property apart are its additional features. Beyond the lush pastures, you’ll find a mix of functional farm buildings and a derelict house that’s practically begging for a transformation. Here’s the controversial bit: while some might see the derelict dwelling as a challenge, others could view it as a golden opportunity, especially with potential property refurbishment grants on the table. The commercial outbuildings—slatted sheds, cubicles, a silage slab, cattle-handling facilities, and a slurry tank—are all in place, ready to support your farming ambitions.
Water supply? Covered. The property has both private and public water sources, ensuring you’re never short on this essential resource. Denis Collins sums it up perfectly: “It’s a very nice piece of land in two equal divisions on either side of the public road, with multiple access points… It’s good free-draining land, and the old derelict cottage may qualify for one of the improvement grants.”
With its quality, convenience, and size, this farm is a no-brainer for anyone looking to invest in agriculture. Priced at a competitive €12,500 per acre, it’s an opportunity that’s hard to ignore. But here’s the question: Is this the kind of property that could redefine your farming future, or is it just another piece of land?
