Ideal grazing platform for dairy expansion

Located a mile from Donoughmore village, this small residential farm holding is a new market entrant this year with Liam Mullins Auctioneer.

The 46-acre farm, at Gowlane South, is in the heart of strong dairy country where Liam Mullins says demand for land is strong and the rewards for milk is high.

Which is why he’s had quite a bit of interest already in this farm and gives a confident guide of €12,000 per acre — although he points out that that includes the house and yard too.

In four different blocks and with extensive road frontage, the land is top class pasture, says Mullins and can be sold in one or more lots — it’s also suitable for tillage or grazing, he says.

The sale includes a mid-20th century bungalow in good condition and it comes with four bedrooms, living room, sitting room and kitchen and has oil heating. The farm yard has some picturesque, old stone buildings and the property is within a half hour’s drive of the edge of Cork city.

And because it’s a fragmented farm, this Gowlane South property is an ideal acquisition for local farmers looking to add on a couple of acres or more, to a grazing platforms.
