County Limerick’s rural property market has seen a second residential farm priced at €2m enter the market, following a similar high-value listing reported by FARM Leader last week, according to selling agents Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes, Farms & Estates.
Ballynamuddagh House and Farm Details
Ballynamuddagh House and Farm in Dromin spans 155 acres, combining 86 acres of grazing land with 68 acres of mature managed forestry, listed by Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes, Farms & Estates at an asking price of €2m via private treaty. Promotional material from the selling agents notes that the holding offers “strong agricultural, equestrian, and amenity potential in a fully self-contained rural estate.”
The grazing acreage is organized into five main fields for rotational livestock management and potential subdivision. According to the agents, the scale of the land suits equestrian use, including paddocks, exercise areas, and stabling potential subject to planning permission. The property sits approximately 3.9 km from Bruree, 6.3 km from Kilmallock, 7.5 km from Bruff, and 13 km from Charleville.
Agricultural Infrastructure and Forestry
Farm infrastructure includes a 7-bay cattle shed with cement feeding troughs, an adjoining concrete yard, a secure fenced slurry pit, and a second 7-bay barn equipped with LED lighting. A third 3-bay barn near the forestry accommodates machinery, hay, and straw storage. The 68.44 acres of mature managed forestry contains oak, beech, ash, scots pine, and sitka spruce.
Ballynamuddagh House itself is a period country residence extending to approximately 204 sq. m (2,191 sq. ft) with three bedrooms and reception spaces, having undergone extensive renovations.
Comparison With the Drombanna Listing
This listing arrives alongside another prominent Limerick holding. Ardmore House—a 112-acre residential farm in Coolyhenan, Drombanna, near Limerick city—is scheduled to go to auction on Wednesday, September 9, at 3pm in the Kilmurry Lodge Hotel through GVM, with an overall guide price of €2m.
The Drombanna property is divided into three parcels across the Commons Road linking Drombanna to Ballysimon. It features a 47-acre plot with a two-bedroom bungalow guided at €1m, a 50-acre block guided at €800,000, and a 15-acre parcel guided at €200,000. The bungalow is in good structural condition, likely qualifies for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant and energy upgrade supports, and includes traditional stone outbuildings.
