Lee Valley land ideal for hobby farmer at realistic price

THE land attached to Lee View House at Roovesmore, Coachford, sold back in 2008 when prices were still pitched at the astronomical €30,000 per acre.

Now, in a much saner time, this late Victorian farmhouse and eight acres of prime grazing land are on offer at a composite price of €700,000 through Irish and European.

Auctioneer Joe McCarthy is open to offers on the house and land, which is being sold in one lot through private treaty, and he expects hobby farmer interest.
