Thirty acres near Ballincollig to be sold in one block

THE fact that this potential hobby farm at Rearour, Aherla, Co Cork, is close to a major employment node at Brinny could help its chances of selling

The property, some 30 acres with planning permission for a two-storey house, is new to the market with Ernest Forde of Hodnett Forde, who’s seeking offers in the region of €350,000 for the entire. The agent is not keen on the option to break up the land into two lots.

It has road frontage, but not a huge amount, and would be better sold in the entire, he says. The land is all in one block, bounded by a local river, and is close to Aherla village, Ballincollig, and the main Cork-Killarney road.

The land is very well farmed, says Mr Forde, and includes 4.25 acres under forestry.

The planning permission granted provides for a four-bed, architect-designed house of 2,820 square feet in the place of an old ruin which stands at the centre of the land, with a long roadway to the public road — which would ensure privacy for buyers.
