Take the Leap for 30 acre farm, with old buildings

LOCATED a couple of miles outside Leap village in the heart of west Cork, this 30-acre holding includes old stone buildings and some undulating pasture land.

The farm at Cashel, Leap, has not been occupied for a long time, and the old farmhouse and buildings are in a poor state.

However, the land is generally of good quality, and may have gravel deposits, says John Hodnett of Hodnett Forde Auctioneers, who’s inviting offers of between €10,000 to €12,000 per acre.

South-facing, and with a stream on the southern boundary, the property comes with road frontage on the northern side, a nice tidy block, says John Hodnett.

It includes the old stone farmhouse, a hay-shed with lean-to, lofted outhouse and old cow-shed, all of which could be brought back to life, with some effort.

Alternatively, they could be sold off at a later date to offset the cost of the land acquisition, in this high demand Leap/Glandore/Union Hall area.
