All eyes on 144-acre sale near Rathcormac, Co Cork

The gently undulating landscape lying to the north of Cork city has a mix of farm and industrial life.

Rich soil blankets the area, punctuated by busy towns through which the Cork-Dublin motorway meanders.

When a large holding of over 100 acres comes onto the market around here, therefore, it represents a rarity that is bound to be met with keen interest.
