Property: Residential farm in heart of Golden Vale, Ballyhea
The residential farm is in the heart of Golden Vale farming country at Sorrell, Ballyhea and the agent says a holding of this size for sale in the area is a rarity: “It’s very rare that a property like this comes on the market around here,” says Mr Carroll. He says a sale of this nature has not been available for about 20 years.
The property is described as “very good land”, with a proven record of production, let for the last 14-15 years, according to the auctioneer.
It is laid out in grass in easily-managed, well-fenced divisions with a mains water supply, making it suitable for virtually any farm enterprise.
Access is also excellent. The property is located close to the N20 Cork/Limerick road about 3km from Ballyhea Church.
The four-bedroom detached bungalow is in need of some modernisation but is in sound condition, according to Mr Carroll.
The intention is to sell the entire holding in one lot at the auction at 3pm on February 26, unless previously sold. A number of interested parties have already come forward, according to the agent.
Price expectations are of the order of €700,000 — a little over €10,000/acre with a very let-able property included.
