Prime land a short drive from city

SET to quicken the pulses of speculators, farmers, hobby farmers and investors is a prime farm of land at Ballinglanna, Glanmire, Co Cork.

Minutes from the Jack Lynch Tunnel and a short drive to Cork city, this 78-acre holding is on the market with joint agents, John Paul Sheehan of F&V Sheehan and Vincent Sheahan of F&V Sheahan. While it has agricultural zoning, there could be long-term development potential with this prime property. A residential sale, it’s in two blocks immediately off the main Cork to Dublin road, in a salubrious, low-density suburb of the city.

Like the Inchigaggin, Carrigrohane sale, a 15-acre block which was launched on the western side of Cork city in June, this is green-belted, A1 zoned land, which means the likelihood of medium density development is off the cards in the short to medium term. However, it could scrape under the radar as part of a land-swap deal (last heard of some two years ago), which would free up sweet, city-based playing fields for development.
