Impressive farm has €400,000 guide price

Part of an estate once owned by a Major Woodleigh, who subsequently gifted the land to his descendant, a Dr Connolly, this farm at Inchilea, Coachford, Co Cork, is a prime piece of ground, says Tom Heffernan of Sherry FitzGerald Hinchion.

The property lies to the north of Coachford village and midway to Macroom town, in a cul de sac location. Apart from the quality of the lands, which are highly esteemed locally, according to Mr Heffernan, the farm includes about seven acres of a private lake, Lough Gal, and a small, two bed residence. There is also the derelict remains of a much older and larger farmhouse residence and old stone yard, in a position closer to the lakeside.

For that reason, the property could attract hobby farm/ organic enterprise buyers, as the location is scenic, and the existence of an old stone yard and house would allow planning for a restoration, or replacement.
