Farm land at €26k per acre

THE crowd was so big for the auction of a 99-acre farm last Thursday that it was moved to the hotel venue’s ballroom. According to Dan Fleming of Fleming Auctioneers, there were well over 100 at the Vienna Woods Hotel for the sale of the farm at Ballinvriskig, White’s Cross, Cork

“There were bids from several different people, from individuals, auctioneers, solicitors and farmers, a wide amount of people were present on the day.”

The sale was a hard one to call, Fleming said at the time of its launch on the market, because it comprised a number of elements. There was the house and three acres, development land of 14 acres, and the remaining 82 acres of quality farmland in a location where sales are rare.
