Keen interest expected in two quality farms

The deadline for registering land has focused minds of late, not least those of vendors and auctioneers, so that deals are being done quickly.

Take this 26-acre piece of grassland at Curraraigue, Banteer, Co Cork, which is on sale by private treaty but selling agent Dan Fleming is hoping to have a deal done sooner, rather than later.

He gives a guide of €10,000 per acre for the property which not only has superb road frontage, but is also partially zoned as it bounds the village of Kilcorney and the famous, Moll Carthy’s Bar.
