20 acres, and option on 15 extra in Ballinacarriga

A quality 20-acre farm laid out in pasture is just the kind of property that the current market has no problem focusing its interest on.

This west Cork property, for sale with Clonakilty-based Hodnett Forde Auctioneers, is no different — and it is already under offer.

Located in the townland of Ballinacarriga, about 10km east of Dunmanway, the property is laid out in one single field and has extensive road frontage.

The elevated position of the land means that it has superb pastoral views all around, including one of Ballinacarriga Lake and Castle.

“It has very good quality pasture,” says selling agent John Hodnett. “It has electricity, a private water supply and a stream, as well as a cattle-holding pen and a yard.”

All this pales in comparison to its most interesting feature — namely the opportunity to acquire an additional 15 acres for the interested party who needs a little more land.

The 20-acre holding was part of a larger dairy farm in the past. There are no entitlements with it, and Mr Hodnett says that they are looking to achieve in the region of €10,000 12,000 per acre for the land.
