Record price paid for top quality land

With five farms up for sale in a relatively small area of the Lee Valley, it’s small wonder the news of a record-breaking local price leaked out following a sale agreement last weekend.

The property, at Clonteadmore, Coachford, Co Cork, is a residential farm of 35 acres, part of which is within the development boundary and which was offered in five lots.

According to local sources, the top sale was ‘knocking on €17,000 per acre’ with all lots agreed, but not sold yet.
