Just beside the N25

As consolidation is increasingly the order of the day in preparation for the forthcoming expansion in dairy farming, there are many progressive farmers in the country who are geared up to creating a large holding made of accessible smaller portions.
It’s interesting to note, therefore, that a 59-acre Co Cork holding at Lower Killacloyne, Carrigtwohill, just off the N25 dual carriageway is attracting potential buyers from a broad sweep of the net. The property has been let for some years and has been getting “great prices for conacre” during that time, according to the selling agents. “Forty acres of it is excellent land,” says Midleton-based agent David Keane. “There are about 20 acres in need of attention, of which 10 or 12 can be easily brought back into use.”
