Farmhouse and 15 acres at Upton

THE bulk of this farm at Lissaniskey, Upton, Co Cork, was sold in the buoyant property days of 2003 through Anthony O’Regan of Keane Mahony Smith.

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.
