Tip top tillage farm
Flagged as a significant property, it failed to sell for various reasons, but is now back on the market for the harvest season with a standing offer of €1.5m, up on its original guide of €1.4m.
With 115 acres on offer, it comes with a picturesque, period residence in great condition and a farmyard in tip top condition covering over 24,000 square feet.
A grazing and tillage farm, the property at Dooneens is all in one block with excellent road frontage, bisected as it is by a main road, and this layout offers the opportunity for purchase in more than one lot, through sole agent Christy Burckley.
Although the current offer is on the property in the entire (it is the equivalent of €13,000 per acre), the farm is also being offered in six lots, beginning with Lot 2 at 36 acres, Lot 3 is 47 acres, and the farmyard and Lots four and five are 10 and seven acres respectively. The remaining lot includes the house and nine acres.
Built in 1874 and very well maintained since, the house is a five-bed property which has been completely renovated and upgraded in the past while, accessed via a driveway from the main road. It could make an ideal hobby farm for a commuter buyer. The house has four bedrooms and a range of living rooms with stone, lofted outbuildings included in the courtyard.
The farm land is acknowledged as top quality, says Christy Buckley, and in the present offering would allow a number of farmers to purchase a part of the land, although it can also be sold in the entire, he stresses.
He’s inviting offers in excess of €1.5m on the property, which is just three miles north of Carrigtwohill, and a short drive from Cork city.
