Strong interest in residential farm
Very healthy interest is being shown in this high quality residential farm of 100 acres.
A modernised period home, the Georgian residence has four bedrooms, and three reception rooms, all renovated and kept to a high standard.
It has been owned by the O’Riordan family since the 1970s. They had an extensive pig farming operation there, but this has been closed down quite recently, and the buildings were removed and the ground ploughed and seeded.Visually, it is a spectacular holding in virtually one field, in tillage and pasture.
“It is suitable to any farming enterprise, well laid out and ideal as a cattle farm, tillage farm or stud farm,” say Trevor McCarthy and Joe McCarthy of Irish and European Real Estate Alliance, who are to sell it by public auction on October 2, unless it is snapped up beforehand.
Viewings so far seem to bear out their expectation of inquiries from farmers, from those who have sold land for development purposes and from professionals in the city who want a country estate that will also earn an income.
It’s just a couple of minutes off the N22 to Macroom and Killarney, 14 miles from Cork city at Aglish, Farran.
There’s a long approach drive, the house is privately set in the middle of the land, which has extensive road frontage, and the drive is stud post fenced and hedged.
The likelihood is that it should sell for between €1.5 and $2 million.
