Cliffside land under offer after auction
The 65-acre holding, auctioned by John O’Mahony of CCM Midleton, was withdrawn without reaching the reserve. An offer was later made and the auctioneer is open to other bids for the land, which bounds Cork Harbour. The sweetener in the sale was an old dwelling on the land, which might enable planning permission for a larger residence far enough from the sea to retain the unspoilt cliffscape.
Mr O’Mahony is looking for offers in the region of a little less than €1 million.
He’s also selling a 45-acre holding at Inch, Whitegate, guide priced at €20,000 per acre, for its 34 acres of good quality tillage land. About 11 acres are under hardwoods, (attracting premia of €2,500 per annum, with 11 years left to run), and that carries a guide price of €8,000 per acre.
Another property on the agent’s books, which is also under offer, is prime land near Castlemartyr, Co Cork.
Close to Loughaderra and with frontage onto the N25 Cork to Rosslare road, it comprises one 20-acre block of south-facing land. Described by the agent as superb limestone soil and in mature divisions, it’s suitable for all farming purposes and guide priced at €500,000.
