Prime Cork site sells for €2.4m

Finally, the news has filtered out, confirming a substantial farm sale in south Cork.

First flagged as a benchmark transaction almost a year ago, the end result now is a not-too-shabby €14,500 per acre.

Castle Farm, the 167-acre parcel of prime tillage ground located off the equally prime Currabinny Road near Carrigaline, in Co Cork, was sold following subtle negotiations through joint agents Savills and Irish and European.
