Oatlands Farm, Oatlands, Glenealy, Co Wicklow, A67E425

Extensive dairy farm in the heart of Wicklow Oatlands Farm is a notable agricultural holding extending to about 268 acres (108 hectares) in a single, contiguous block of productive grassland. Situated in a peaceful rural setting near Glenealy in County Wicklow, the farm enjoys excellent accessibility, with the M11 bordering the farm and Dublin International Airport approximately 63 kilometres distant. The farm includes a traditional 18th Century residence and an attractive gate lodge, both offering considerable potential. Set within mature surroundings, these buildings present an excellent opportunity to establish a charming and characterful residential core at the heart of the holding. A key component of Oatlands is its well-developed dairy infrastructure. The farm is equipped with a modern dairy complex, which includes a 21-unit herringbone milking parlour, cubicle housing for the dairy herd, slurry storage, and silage pits. The land is currently laid out in grass and supports a functioning dairy operation. The farm is currently vacant with the dairy herd sold earlier in 2025. Typically, two to three cuts of silage are taken annually, with other fieldwork, such as slurry spreading and reseeding, contracted out. Oatlands benefits from excellent access and infrastructure, including a network of internal farm roadways, good fencing, and a reliable piped water supply. The land is of good quality and suited to both grazing and silage production, with a portion adaptable for tillage. In addition to the main dairy enterprise, traditional stone outbuildings and a derelict cottage offers further development potential, either for residential use (subject to necessary consents) or for agricultural support. Oatlands Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a compact yet highly productive dairy unit in the heart of County Wicklow, with strong underlying residential and amenity potential.
