Rare coastal opportunity
The sale of large six-bed houses at Killowen, Minane Bridge, is rare enough in this sensitive and restricted area.
The property is a new build in a very accessible location eight miles from Kinsale and 20 miles from Cork city.
Surrounded by good quality land, it would be ideal for the hobby farmer, especially one working in one of the large nearby industries.
There is the option to buy in lots, however. For those not too interested in land the agent is offering the house and two acres in one lot. He’s looking for offers of €1.2 million.
The land carries a guide price of around €35,000 per acre, and the agent already has an offer of €38,000 per acre for a nine-acre lot, including farm buildings.
A further six acres and an old ruin are being left open to negotiation, but as there are three buildings in this lot, with the prospect of follow-on planning permission, ambitions are high for its sale price.
The remaining lots include a 12-acre field and a choice of 9.3 acres, 1.5 acres and a 1.4 acres, including the farm buildings.
The sum total of all the lots brings this prize coastal property to €2.6m. It’s all top class land and the house is impeccable, with a second floor balcony commanding views over Carrigadda Bay and Robert’s Head. Beaches and swimming spots are close by.
Ground floor rooms include an office, and there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms. A double garage is included in the sale, as well as a multi-purpose farm building.
All services are in place and the grounds around the house are post and rail fenced, with a driveway and plenty of parking.
* Christy Buckley had a snap sale agreed for a 108-acre non-residential farm at Ballybeg, Buttevant, Co Cork, within hours of its launch on the market.
The roadside grass and tillage farm included certified limestone deposits, and made in excess of its guide price of €2m.
