Property: 185-acre Conna farm sold for about €3.5m

Auctions are continuing to perform well, as the latest results confirm.

The exceptional, 185-acre, high-quality farm in Carrigeen Hall, Conna, Co Cork, which went under the hammer just before Christmas, sold for “in the region of €3.5m”, according to an official statement from joint selling agents, Martin & Rea.

This is about half a million euro more than when the same property was sold 10 years ago, with 15 acres less and a smaller, older residence. The purchasers were the Kenneally family, from East Cork, who had sold development land during the property boom.
