€900,000 for 65-acre holding

A NEAT parcel of land with milk quota, just a few miles from Cork city, is on offer through CCM at the moment.

David Keane is selling this 32.5 acre holding at Lackenroe, Glanmire with 25,341 gallons of quota, and he already has seen keen interest. A lot of that is from city dwellers looking for a suitable site for a dwelling, he says, but neighbouring dairy farmers would also figure. There are a number of options with this sale; a townie could buy the land on its own, or it could be purchased and the quota taken away; or it could continue as a dairy farm. The sale includes farm buildings and a five unit milking parlour. The sale is by private treaty, and a guide price of e500,000 is given.

* Mr Keane is the joint auctioneer, along with Liam Mullins in Mallow, for a 65-acre residential holding at Maytown, Ballycotton, Co Cork.
