Spectacular coastal farm in West Cork exceeds €1.9m

Aerial view of the 122-acre farm near Rosscarbery, West Cork, that was sold in lots for over €1.9m.

Although it did not go to public auction, a spectacularly located coastal farm that was featured on these pages on June 9 was sold in a private auction between the four highest bidders last week for a figure in excess of €1.9m — 30% higher than expected.

The 122-acre holding in question is located on a short but perfectly formed peninsula near Rosscarbery in West Cork and provoked huge interest from near and far, according to the selling agent — John Hodnett of Clonakilty-based auctioneers Hodnett-Forde Property Services.
