For sale with Mallow-based auctioneer Liam Mullins & Associates, a 37.88-acre farm near Newmarket, Co Cork, is currently up for sale.

The property is in the townland of Coolagh, 2km northwest of one of North Cork’s liveliest and most aptly-named market towns and it contains some elements that may attract the non-farmer as much as the farmer.

There is a derelict farmhouse on site and the property was granted planning permission for a dormer bungalow in 2015 — facts that might tempt those looking to set up home in the countryside and lease out the land.

There is good road frontage onto the R576 The lands are in reasonable condition and, with a bit of investment, could be brought up to a good-quality level. 

Even the small amount of woodland within the boundaries is natural woodland that can be re-planted to create pastureland if so desired.

The outbuildings consist of a three-block hay barn, as well as a 40ftx20ft animal shed.

The price guide of €230,000 (€6,000/acre) should tempt those from both farming and non-farming backgrounds, offering good value for a substantial amount of land with potential in north Cork.
