Ballyclough farm sale offers 177 acres for €1.4 million

THIS is one of the largest farm sales to come on the market this year, and will attract those looking for a stand-alone operation.

But that’s not to rule out the acquisitiveness of local farmers either, as this 177-acre property, at Rathnee, Ballyclough, Co Cork, has some of the best land in the county, according to auctioneer Tom Sheahan.

“It’s as good as you’d find anywhere. There are some 135 acres of super ground,” he says.
