Farmhouse and 15 acres at Upton
That time round the property was guided at €750,000 for the entire, but 30 acres of good tillage land were sold, with the farmhouse and some 15 acre retained. Now the property hits the market again, but in a much less bullish time, and the extended farmhouse and land has a guide of €400,000 plus.
Considering the property’s proximity to Cork city and its location in the green belt area, it’s not a bad asking price — sites of less than an acre can make this closer to the city. Here, you get a farm, a yard and 15 acres for the same money.
Six miles from Bandon and just 12 miles from Cork, the Lissaniskey holding is also close to a local school and church. The land includes a good share of woodland and part of this is a bird sanctuary.
The farmyard includes a slatted unit with separate lean-to, a cow byer, dairy, collecting yard and crush, a calf house and a double garage. The farmhouse is a traditional two-storey, which could be knocked to be replaced by another dwelling, or could be modernised.
As it stands, it’s in good condition and liveable, says the agent. It comes with a sitting room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor and has four bedrooms and a bathroom overhead.
