Prime spot up for grabs
The ERA Paddy Murray and Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed companies have only just started marketing the non-residential holding, and already have an offer of €2 million.
It comes on the market with lots of road frontage, which was newly acquired prior to the announcement of the sale, from the Castle Bernard estate. This adds an extra element of development potential to the property, especially as it’s directly off the N71, the Bandon to Clonakilty road.
The farm, in two huge fields, is just two miles from the town, and could have immediate development potential, perhaps for a few big houses, suggests David Busteed, but that would depend on planning.
The land is top-quality, he says, and has been used as a drystock farm for a number of years. However, part of the land had been used for barley at one stage and, given the size of the divisions, it would make ideal tillage ground. It is good-quality, deep-level land, and it should garner plenty of interest from local landholders and businessmen.The sale is by private treaty, in the entire.
“The property is so near the town and has road frontage on two sides and its also near the Bandon Golf Club, so it could be ideal for a second course,” says Paddy Murray. “There’s a recycling centre near it, and that’s a commercial activity, so it could likely be zoned for commercial purposes.”
Perfect for an impressive residence, it’s ideal for someone who sold land for development and who could sit on it. “It’s just at the edge of town and is an ideal rezoning bet in the mid-term,” says Mr Murray.
