Golden vale farm has right ingredients

THE impressive entrance gates will attract the hobby farmer, but the 70 acres with this farm at Curryglass, Newtownshandrum, should draw serious farmers.

It’s on the market as a private treaty sale with Micheal Brady of the Brady Group, and he says this is a different sort of buy as it includes an old stone farmhouse and courtyard in need of considerable restoration.

If this property were in the greater Cork area it would fetch a lot more than its guide price of €1.4m, says Brady (who has just opened new offices on Cork’s Lee Road).
