Price tag €2m for 35 acres

LAST year 60 acres in Waterfall, Co Cork, made over €3 million for joint selling agents, Maurice Stack of DNG Stack and John Hodnett of SWS Property Services.

This year, John Hodnett is going it alone with another Waterfall farm, at Ballinvoultig, which hits the market at a cool two million.

The property comprises a 35-acre residential holding just off the N71 in Cork city’s green belt area. Located minutes from the Bishopstown roundabout, the South Ring Road and the Ballincollig bypass, the property is certain to appeal to non-farmers.

In particular, to one-off house builders who cannot get permission to build within this tightly controlled zone.

The property comes with a range of storage units, which may suit a business which could be run from home, says John Hodnett.

The main residence is a modern, four-bed bungalow, but it could be blasted, in favour of a BFOH, the Big Flip-Off House which has proliferated in the property boom of the last 10 years.

It’s in very good condition, says Hodnett, and comes with a large, detached garage.

The yard includes two big commercial units and the ruins of an old house. Unit 1 has 1,850 sq ft and the second unit 3,185 sq ft.

The property is going to auction on May 31 and can be sold in four lots.

Lot one is 4.1 acres, including the residence, and outbuildings; lot two is 2.3 acres; lot three is 28.9 acres; and lot four is the entire property.
