11.5-acre smallholding outside Cork City expected to fetch over €350,000

'It’s a great opportunity for a hobby farmer or for somebody intending, maybe, to go into an organic enterprise'

Selling agent John Hodnett of Clonakilty-based Hodnett Forde Property Services said the 11.5-acre holding has road frontage on its southern boundary.

A smallholding close to the erstwhile village of Ballincollig (which, since June 2019, is an integral part of Cork City) is receiving a lot of attention from the local market, according to the selling agent John Hodnett of Clonakilty-based Hodnett Forde Property Services.

“It’s nice quality farmland,” says John, “It’s currently used for grazing and there’s a new three-bay farm building on it which measures 45 by 45 feet. It’s of excellent quality.”
