Interest expected in 47 acres near Riverstick, Co Cork

A 227-acre farm at Coolkirky, Riverstick, Co Cork, was put up for sale back in 2008, just as the market went south, and it was subsequently withdrawn.

Now, however, a 47-acre portion of the same farm is back up for sale. The south Cork holding is on offer through Ernest Forde of Hodnett Forde Auctioneers, and he says it’s located in an area with some of the best quality farmland in the country.

There are 31 acres of excellent quality ground, all under new pasture, he says, but part of the land, some 10 acres, is quite heavy, and has never been remediated.
