76-acre farm at Dunmanway sells for €875k

IT was to have gone to auction, but this week, a 76-acre farm at Girlough, Dunmanway, sold by private treaty for €875,000.

The property was bought in trust by an agricultural consultant, for €11,500 per acre — marginally below the bullish guide price of €12,000 per acre.

The quality of the land took the sale above the average — however, there is a road frontage deficit. According to auctioneer Tom Brady, it’s exceptional land, and was bid up by three until bought in trust through John Crowley of Bandon.
