LOCATION
THE GOLDEN VALE - IRELAND'S FINEST FARMING HEARTLAND
Nestled in the heart of County Tipperary, the Golden Vale is widely regarded as Ireland's most fertile and picturesque agricultural region - a landscape of rolling green pastures, gently undulating hills, and rich limestone soil that has sustained generations of farmers. This is the land that defines Irish farming at its best: productive, natural, and timeless.

The Golden Vale stretches through Tipperary, Limerick, and Cork, but it is here, in Tipperary, that its character truly shines. The land is famed for its exceptional grass-growing capacity, providing perfect conditions for dairy and beef farming, while also supporting strong tillage and equine enterprises. The limestone-based soil, mild climate, and reliable rainfall combine to create a natural balance that produces
lush pasture and remarkable yields year after year.

Farms in the Golden Vale are more than holdings - they are part of a proud agricultural heritage. The region is home to many of Ireland's most respected dairy producers, stud farms, and family-run enterprises, all benefiting from an environment that is as beautiful as it is bountiful.

Beyond the land itself, the Golden Vale offers an exceptional quality of rural life. The nearby towns of Cashel, Cahir, and Thurles provide all modern conveniences, while the M8 motorway ensures swift access to both Dublin and Cork. It's a place where tradition and progress meet. Where modern agriculture thrives amidst history, community, and natural beauty.

To own a farm in the Golden Vale is to hold a piece of Ireland's most cherished landscape - land that has earned its name not just for its fertility, but for its enduring value and timeless appeal.

Rockwell Farm is located a short distance from the picturesque town of Cashel in County Tipperary. Cashel lies just off the M8 motorway, which connects Dublin to Cork, making it very accessible - roughly an hour from Cork, an hour and a half from Dublin, and about 20 minutes from Thurles.

The town itself is dominated by the iconic Rock of Cashel, a dramatic limestone outcrop topped with ancient medieval buildings, including a cathedral, a round tower, and Cormac's Chapel. This landmark, visible from miles around, is one of Ireland's most famous heritage sites and symbolizes Cashel's deep historical and religious significance - it was once the seat of the kings of Munster before being gifted to the Church in the 12th century.

Cashel serves as a gateway between the north and south of Tipperary, linking the bustling market towns of Clonmel and Thurles. The surrounding countryside is quintessentially Irish - rolling hills, patchwork fields, and distant views of the Galtee Mountains to the south. Cashel has a strong local charm, with traditional pubs, artisan cafés, and a community that blends rural life with a steady flow of visitors drawn by its history and beauty.

About Sherry FitzGerald, Country Homes, Farms and Estates

176 Pembroke Road Ballsbridge Dublin D04 EN80

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential office on Merrion Row in Dublin 2 with a second office in Terenure not opening until 1989.

Despite the economic difficulties of the 1980’s, the company recruited for the future by forming a team of young property professionals who shared a common vision of a new type of auctioneering company. From the start, we practiced a strong gender balance philosophy, a philosophy we have continued to practice to this day. We understood the absolute prerequisite to have a strong ethical foundation, combined with a sense of unparalleled customer service. That is why, back then, we introduced a non-negotiable rule of not allowing anyone in the company to buy a second-hand house off our own books, coupled with introducing opening 7 days a week into what had traditionally been a ‘9.30 – 5.30 & closed for lunch’ industry. Our strap line in those early days was ‘the new generation of estate agents’ which subsequently evolved into ‘the agent you’d recommend to a friend’.

In 1992 we were the first organisation in the history of the State, outside the Department of the Environment, to provide coherent house price information to the general public and subsequently launched our Dublin house price index in 1996. Today we employ 4 economists and, through all the challenges of the greatest property crash in Europe, we kept our commitment to research and transparent information by not only retaining this function, but by further resourcing it. Our national property index, launched in 1999, is a benchmark in terms of accurate reporting of house price trends. Every 3 months, over the last 15 years, this national index has been published without fear or favour.

In 1998 we opened our first office outside Dublin in Galway. In the same year we launched one of Ireland’s first property websites – www.sherryfitz.ie.

1998 also saw us consolidate our growing commercial presence by forming a joint venture company with the global property advisory firm DTZ Holdings – DTZ Sherry FitzGerald. Today DTZ Sherry FitzGerald is Ireland’s most successful and only nationwide commercial property advisor with offices in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and an associated office in Belfast.

In 1999 we launched Ireland’s first ever national property franchise organisation. Today there are 66 Sherry FitzGerald franchise offices, providing property advice in every corner of Ireland.

In the same year the Group acquired the Ross McParland New Homes business which was subsequently rebranded Sherry FitzGerald New Homes.

The new century kicked off with the acquisition of Cork’s leading residential estate agency, Burton Crowley O’Flynn, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald and now occupying a flagship office, housing both our Commercial and Residential business on Lapps Quay in the heart of Cork city.

The year 2000 also saw the launch of Mortgage Insight, later rebranded Sherry FitzGerald Financial Services, providing independent mortgage and financial advice.

In 2000 our Chief Executive, Mark FitzGerald, came up with the idea of launching a national property portal and led the process of putting together the team, the partners and the investors that made it happen, with the subsequent successful launch of MyHome.ie in 2001. MyHome.ie quickly became Ireland’s largest and most innovative property website and, 5 years after its launch, was acquired by the Irish Times.

Meanwhile, DTZ Sherry FitzGerald was growing rapidly. In 2004 the company acquired the niche commercial practice of CS Tierney O’Neill as well as further strengthening the Cork commercial business by acquiring the former Collier Jackson Stops office.

In 2005 Sherry FitzGerald successfully diversified into the U.K. market with the acquisition of the 150 year old, central and West London estate agency of Marsh & Parsons. In the following year, Marsh & Parsons acquired another London estate agency, Vanstons, which was rebranded Marsh & Parsons, and in the subsequent 5 years we grew this network to 14 London offices employing over 200 people. In 2011 we successfully sold the Marsh & Parsons business leaving the business debt free.

The timing of the Marsh & Parsons acquisition also helped to protect the Sherry FitzGerald parent business during the depths of the property crash, enabling us to keep all our own offices open and 200 people directly employed. This made us the largest Irish property business to emerge from the crash.

In 2006 we launched two community initiatives supported by the Sherry FitzGerald Foundation. Firstly, the "Your Home Away From Home" which saw us underwrite the purchase of 5 Fontenoy Street, Phibsboro for Temple Street Children´s Hospital to use as parents’ accommodation for two families 365 days a year. We subsequently arranged two successful 10km Walkathons to raise funds for the project. Secondly, we were instrumental in the establishment of Amawele - a new national charity which now twins 85 schools in Ireland with schools in the Eastern and West Cape of South Africa.

In 2008 we were chosen by Christie’s International Real Estate to be their exclusive affiliate in Ireland. This partnership gives sellers of prestige homes in Ireland access to international markets. Likewise we can also offer the owners of luxury property abroad access to local expertise when they come to sell, via the global Christie’s International Real Estate network.

In 2013, we acquired our two residential franchise offices in Galway and Limerick and opened our first Blackrock office in 2014. Since its foundation in August 1982, the Sherry FitzGerald Group has grown from a small fledgling company in one location to a nationwide, diversified business operating in 88 different locations. Currently we employ 315 people directly in our 22 owned offices across a diversified residential and commercial property business (18 residential, 4 commercial), alongside our franchise business with an additional 69 offices throughout Ireland, separately employing over 200 people. Sherry FitzGerald Group remains an Irish privately owned business and committed to leading the marketplace as we have done over the last 32 years.
