Rich 42 acres near Blarney
Located at Coolowen, the land is all in one block, is under tillage, and it’s seriously good land, says Denis Barrett, of Denis A Barrett Auctioneers.
He’s disposing of the property by private treaty, but says it could go to private auction if matters drag. It’s a method he’s found very effective at bringing sales to a conclusion, he says.
The 42 acres is in three fields and has very good road frontage, with little or no waste, and is situated close to the former Quill’s golf course, off Station Road. South-facing, it could suit any agricultural purpose, he says, giving a guide price of €12,000 per acre.
Meanwhile, Denis Barret has chalked up a number of recent farm sales, three of which exceeded their reserve prices.
Land in west Cork at Garranlahan, Ballinascarthy, 40 acres, was guided at €520,000, but is now sale-agreed at €560,000 — the equivalent of €14,000 per acre.
There was also the holding at Grenagh, Co Cork, which made €290,000 for 22 acres, and a farm at Callatrim, Bandon, withdrawn from auction but eventually sold for €270,000.
