41-acre farm within 20 minutes of Cork City under offer
The farm is in the townland of Ballymurphy South, about 3km north of the village of Rathbarry, 6km north of Innishannon and within 15-20 minutes’ drive of Cork City.
Situated within what one might describe as the golden ring of Cork City, a 40.8-acre holding is new to the market with Bandon-based auctioneer Mark Kelly and is already under offer.
The farm is in the townland of Ballymurphy South, about 3km north of the village of Rathbarry, 6km north of Innishannon and within 15-20 minutes’ drive of Cork City.
“It’s excellent south-facing land,” Mr Kelly said. “It’s all in grass and there aren’t any entitlements coming with it.”
The property comes with excellent access via its substantial road frontage that extends for several hundred metres onto the public road.
“There’s a water supply from a stream on the western boundary,” Mr Kelly said, adding the holding is suitable for any agricultural enterprise and is laid out in large fields.
The surrounding area is a very active one from an agricultural perspective. A number of farms in the area have posted very strong sale prices over the last few years and this property should be no exception.
“There would be a lot of big dairy farmers in this part of the country,” said Mr Kelly. “The Crossbarry area would be good and this is extremely good south-facing land.”
The combination of high-quality land and the fact it is within that proximity of Cork City make this a highly desirable farm and it will not be surprising if it exceeds expectations.
“We’re guiding in excess of €600,000 (€14,700/acre). It’s only just gone on the market and we’re under offer already,” Mr Kelly said.
