Lots to like in 40-acre farm sale
It’s already under offer at €520,000, which gives an indication of the interest in this residential holding.
The house is typical of the west Cork vernacular style, but while it’s structurally sound, it hasn’t been lived in for a while and will need renovation.
According to Pat Collins of Denis A Barrett Auctioneers, it’s flanked by some lovely stone coach houses which have long-term conversion potential, especially as the property is so near Clonakilty. It’s located in Pedlar’s Cross, a 10 minute drive to Clon.
The land is in good condition, says Collins, and is being grazed at the moment and cows are milked in the yard, although the property is part of a distant, larger holding.
That explains the sale, and the strong interest.
The property is being sold in bite-size lots, so neighbouring farmers might get a chance to expand.
The first lot is about 22 acres, in fields with 9km of road frontage onto two roads, and including the three-bed farmhouse and yard.
The second lot is some 13 acres, again with great road frontage, in four fields; while the third and final lot is low-lying and bounds a stream on one side and a road on the other.
However, the entire property is open for offers in excess of the current offer which works out at €13,000 per acre.
The sale is by private treaty and includes a substantial yard, with large concrete apron, slatted shed with central feed passage, a milking parlour with lean-to, a loose shed and feed bin, a garage, storage space and stables.
All services are laid on, and the property is close to Ballinascarthy, Pedlar’s Cross and a short commute to Bandon.
