Another piece of top-quality land close to Innishannon village is for sale this week. The 25.89-acre holding is in the townland of Skevanish, 1km from Innishannnon – a village on the main N71 between Cork City and Bandon.

In recent years, any land that has come on the market within a few kilometres of Innishannon has sold exceptionally well. The high land quality and the proximity to the markets of Cork city, as well as future development potential, combine to make it quite a Munster hotspot.

“It’s all in one block,” says David Busteed of Bandon-based selling agents Sherry Fitzgerald Brennan Busteed. “It’s south-facing with stunning countryside views. It’s divided into four fields, with excellent quality throughout and all easily worked and suitable for any farming enterprise… there’s no waste — every inch is perfect.

“There’s been interest from all sectors, including dairy farmers and hobby farmers and investors who are looking at maybe a bit of ‘hope’ value down the road.”

Cork City and Kinsale are both within a 20-minute drive. The price guide of €500,000 (€19,300/acre) is an accurate reflection of the demand for such property in this location.
