Land-bank north of Blarney

Property in the area north of Blarney and Tower is as sought after by people looking to invest as it is by those looking for more land on which to farm - particularly for those parcels of land that come in the more bank-friendly sizes of between 20 and 50 acres.

So when you hear about a 31-acre plot at the spot known locally as New Tipperary Cross just north of Donoghmore village, you can almost feel the sense of expectation in the air for one of the first pieces of land to be auctioned in the New Year in Munster.

This is a rural area with a balanced mixture of dairying and tillage farming— surrounded by a lot of farmers who will surely be eyeing up this piece of agricultural land with intent.
