27 ‘top quality’ acres to sell in West Cork

Laid out in one block, 6km south of the village of Coppeen, in West Cork, and 10km from Dunmanway, a tempting-sized block of 27 acres of land is for sale with Skibbereen-based auctioneer, Pat Maguire. 

The agent describes the land as being of “top quality”. There is, he says, interest both locally and from abroad for the holding in the townland of Gurtaleen.

“It’s laid out in permanent pasture,” he says. “They’re sheltered grounds that slope gently with a predominantly western aspect.”

It’s an area of mixed farming, but, as is the case in most parts of Munster, it’s in the dairying sector that the most likely buyer will be found. In any case, the block will lend itself to any type of farming and there is good access via public road frontage, with water and electricity.

There are no entitlements going with the property and offers in excess of €250,000 (€9,300/acre) are being sought — a price that sounds more than achievable.
