Mr Hanly is guiding at \u20ac750,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is absolutely fabulous land. We have had a period of very wet weather but you could have walked around it any day in the last number of months &#8211; it was perfect,\u201d said Mr Hanly.<\/p>\n<p>The current owner has grazed it and cut silage on it.<\/p>\n<p>READ NEXT:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.limerickleader.ie\/news\/farming\/2031457\/farm-of-a-lifetime-hits-the-market-in-limerick-with-a-guide-price-of-3-5m.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">\u2018Farm of a lifetime\u2019 hits the market in Limerick with a guide price of \u20ac3.5m<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since it was offered for sale, Mr Hanly has had phone calls from members of both the farming and business community.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201chope value\u201d is factored into the guide price of \u20ac750,000 or \u20ac25,000 per acre.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had strong interest. It is not zoned as we speak but it has enormous potential on the outskirts of Limerick city &#8211; it is within two miles of the city,\u201d said Mr Hanly.<\/p>\n<p>The vastly-experienced auctioneer describes Ballysheedy as one of the most desirable addresses in Limerick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou only need to see the houses built in the surrounding area. You have the village, Limerick Golf Club &#8211; it is so close to everything,\u201d said Mr Hanly.<\/p>\n<p>If the land was rezoned in the future with the possibility of a housing estate or one-off homes the value of the land would be a multiple of what it is today.
