Farm sells at €727,000, for alternative use

THERE was a full room for the auction last week of an interesting farm at Derrencullig, Kilgarvan.

Stunning scenery and a holding of some 244 acres were part of the draw, but wood and wind were the main reasons for the large turnout. The mountainy farm in south west Kerry was put up for auction with Michael Dan Lynch of Remax Coastal Properties and opened at €450,000.

The bidding went up in ten thousands until the property was put on the market at €650,000. There were five keen bidders at that stage, according to Mr Lynch, and the farm was eventually knocked down at €727,000.
