Property: Two Cork land banks sold at auction

The Castle Hotel in Macroom was the setting for a very successful auction of a large 180-acre holding in the townland of Carriganima, mid Cork. 

On June 11, the farm went under the hammer with locally-based agent Killian Lynch and was presented in 3 lots:

Lot 1 was 116 acres; Lot 2, 63 acres and Lot 3 consisted of the entire offering. Bidding for the first lot began brightly at €115,000 and ended with a successful bid of €222,000 (€1,900/acre). Lot 2 opened at €250,000 before being sold for €325,000 (€5,100/acre).
