Location near city makes this ideal for hobby farmer
The postal address is Ballinphelic, Innishannon, but to all intents and purposes, this 35-acre farm falls firmly into the greater Cork area. And as such, is ripe for a hobby farm purchase.
It comes with a traditional, three-storey farmhouse and is good condition, with a two-storey extension to the rear and a sunroom to the front, along with a range of outbuildings.
The house could be extended, and as it’s very difficult to get planning permission in the area, would be worth the effort.
The land is all in pasture, and while there’s not a large amount of road frontage, (there are a number of detached residences on the roadside), there’s enough to be getting along with.
Laid out in pasture, the land runs behind the house, and is laid out in eight divisions, in one rectangular block. Level and sound, with just a little waste, this is top quality pasture land, suitable for any agricultural purpose, says Michael Brady of the Brady Group.
And while the agent is selling the property in the entire, and gives a guide price of €1.2 million, he’s open to discussions on smaller lots.
The location, 10 km from Cork city suburbs, will prove a strong draw and an agricultural enterprise, or a business could see a vendor get around the tricky issue of planning.
The house is surrounded by mature trees and comes with a living room, dining room, kitchen/utility, sunroom, main bathroom and three bedrooms. The yard has a number of traditional outbuildings, including an office and two garages.
The larger buildings, including a modern shed, could be used as cattle housing, stables machinery storage, or may even have commercial use.
A cubicle shed of 63’ x 63’ comes with locking head stalls and automatic scrapers, and there’s a 80,000 gallon slurry tank, along with a disused milking parlour and dairy, and two concrete yards.
The Ballinphelic farm is for sale by private treaty.
