30-acre farm in prime location up for grabs at knockdown price

THIS 30-acre farm just west of Cork city made banner headlines when it sold for €5.5 million in 2007.

It marked a high point in land sales and, some would say, the property madness, sold at auction after competitive bidding for almost twice its reserve — which was put down to a heady mix of property bubble and the residential, commercial and development potential of the property, at Ballinvoultig, Waterfall.

It is now back on the market with Denis O’Donoghue of Savills, and while its attributes remain the same, he’s seeking €1.1m.
