Agricultural lands that come up for sale within striking distance of Cork City carry a significant premium on their value, with a number of holdings in the commuter belt having set strong prices in recent years.

A new holding of 47 acres is listed with Cork City auctioneers Irish & European, and is just off the main N22 to the west of Ballincollig — very close to the beginning of the Ballincollig motorway bypass.
