Farmland market news

The house on the 80 acres near Macroom 

An 80-acre holding near Macroom in West Cork was successfully sold by public auction last week at the Castle Hotel by local agent Killian Lynch.

The farm – last featured on these pages on the 7th of July last – is the townland of Scrahan, 4km west of the Gaeltacht village of Coolea, 8km from Ballymakeera village and a 20-minute drive from Macroom. Another nearby point of interest is “The Top of Coom” – Ireland’s highest pub, which is just 5km away. This farm also formed part of a larger holding that was for sale back in Autumn 2018.
