34 acres ideal for hobby farmer

THE lush horsey country of Conna is always in demand and small lots are particularly appealing to the hobby farm buyer.

Right up their street is a 34-acre holding at Coolrue, Conna, which is on the market with Sarah O’Keeffe of Fleming Auctioneers.

The farm is due up for auction on the July 4, and it has a guide of €650,000.

With plenty of road frontage and a location within two to three miles of the pretty village of Conna, the land is under potatoes and maize at the moment and, according to Sarah O’Keeffe, is one of the finest farms on their books.

Sheltered by mature trees, the property is within commuting distance of Cork city and is also close to Fermoy.

The non-residential sale includes a former milking parlour, slatted units, cubicle houses and various other buildings. Laid out in easily worked fields, it is connected for water and ESB, and is south-facing.

“It has a gorgeous setting — for someone with horses it’s very sheltered, with mature trees. It’s got everything — views, privacy, good location, good land and outbuildings. I would live there myself,” says O’Keefe.
