Large grass farm sells for in excess of asking price
The agent sold the 103-acre property in just two months, having received expressions of interest from all over the county.
The eventual purchasers were a pair of local farmers who clubbed together to seal the deal for more than the €8,000 per acre guide. It is believed to have sold for between €850,000 and €900,000.
Liam Mullins describes the property as a fine block of land. Considering that two other properties were on the market in Churchtown at the same time, its fast sale was a good indication of its quality.
The Ballinguile farm is close to the period village of Churchtown, and less than 16km from Mallow. The sale included a four-bedroomed, two-storey residence, a single-storey cottage and a yard with a cubicle house and hay barn with lean-to and silage pit. The property is off the main Churchtown to Liscarroll road.
