A 214ac dairy farm in the midlands is up for lease. Located on the Offaly-Tipperary border, the farm is at Elm Hall, Carrig, Co Tipperary, and is not far from the town of Birr.

The farm is all in one block and is being operated as a beef and dairy unit at the present time.

It has a 10-unit milking parlour and cubicles for 120 cows. The stock will be sold.

The farm has no paddocks or roadways, but there are field divisions. A local road, that is described as not busy, splits the farm.

The owners would like a long lease of 12 to 15 years and are open to any proposition. Minimum offers of €300/ac are sought. The letting agent is John Crowley Consulting in Ratharoon, Co Cork.

A spokesperson said that the lease will need the proper candidate. That person would be expected to have a good track record, be financially strong and be well spoken of.

The property would suit someone that is an existing dairy farmer that wants to start an extra unit, perhaps for a family member.
