80-acre farm on Cobh Island set for mid-May online auction
The property is in the townland of Ballydaniel More and was part of the Cuskinny House Estate.
An attractive Munster holding will be coming up for public auction on May 16 via the online platform offr.io.
Located on the island of Cobh, the property in question is an 80-acre farm complete with a farmyard and range of outbuildings.
The property is in the townland of Ballydaniel More and was part of the Cuskinny House Estate. It is listed jointly with Fermoy-based Michael Daniels & Co. and Knight Frank of Dublin.
“The free-draining lands are currently in grass and fallow,” says Michael, “and are laid out in seven main divisions… they are gently sloping to the south and are ideal for good early grass with the option to grow spring cereals.”
The farm enjoys approximately 1km of road frontage.
“It offers excellent potential to create a first-class residential farm or small estate,” adds Michael, “with an exceptional setting overlooking Cork Harbour and the Cuskinny Nature Reserve.
“We’ve had a good number of people registering at this point, so it’s a good sign… It’s a mixed field between full-time farmers and hobby farmers.”
An area to the east of the farmyard offers potential for development as it was the site of a period house and yard, demolished around 60 years ago.
The modest price guide of €985,000 (€12,300/acre) should certainly get people bidding on the day.
