Prime tillage holding with great views in east Cork

BACK in 2008, this prime tillage ground at Finure, Whitegate, Co Cork, hit the market, guide priced at a million euro.

It comprised 65 acres at the time and included a derelict dwelling which had value because of potential planning uses – particularly so in such a stunning, cliff-side location.

The property failed to sell at auction then, but was under negotiation when the property crash and a failure in equities worldwide hit.
