€12,500 an acre for prime land in Co Cork
And with demand for land still showing no sign of abating, this top-quality, single-block farm, between Cork City and Kinsale, should find eager buyers.
In a strong farming area, with a mix of dairying, tillage and drystock, this compact and well-located holding has broad appeal as it’s top-quality arable land, says Paddy Murray.
And he has underlined the quality of the Shanvally holding by tagging a bullish per-acre price in excess of €12,500 for the property, which is being sold by private treaty and in the entire.
As can be seen from the aerial photo, it has excellent road frontage on both sides, with large paddocks laid out in grass and gently sloping, with very good drainage.
The farm has been used mostly for grazing, along with some tillage up to now, he says, but is suitable for any farming enterprise.
Just a mile from Riverstick village, it’s a non-residential sale, but includes a good quality farmyard with a three-bay covered silage pit, two lean-tos — one with cubicles and the other a loose cattle house — as well as an open house for cattle or machinery, and a further cubicle house.
In terms of planning, there’s an old dwelling house in the yard, which could be replaced.
The price for the entire property is €1m — but it could make more, depending on interest.
The auctioneer says he is open to all comers.
It’s unlikely the property will be sold in lots, as it works in one single unit, and expanding farmers may also prefer it that way.
Locals will probably be also well aware the property is to come up for sale, so the bidding may be early and swift.
