Large farm seeking €9,000 an acre

Large holdings are bringing in the buyers at the moment, (and it’s not just because farmers would have to pay vehicle tax for smaller, roadside fields), but because of other, more significant economies of scale.

A large farm will often mean a one-off buy and usually, a set-up that’s productive almost immediately.

And that’s the case with this farm on the edge of Kilbrin village near Kanturk, north Cork.
