The precise point at which West Cork begins has always been a matter for debate, but one thing that is clear is that the ‘eastern’ end of West Cork has become one of the most important hotspots for agricultural land in Munster in recent years.

The quality of land in the area around Kinsale, Carrigaline, and Bandon has always been very strong and the proximity to Cork city of this part of the Rebel County is another reason why it has become so coveted.

The latest offering from CCM Property Network is a tidy 24-acre parcel that offers the best of this kind of land, and its compact size should ensure a good number of suitors. Located in the townland of Five Mile Bridge, near Ballinhassig, it’s currently in tillage in an area more readily associated with dairy farming.

“It’s excellent quality farmland,” said selling agent Éamonn O’Brien. “It’s suitable for all types of farming, and it’s currently growing barley and wheat.”

The property comes with good road frontage for convenience and the location is very convenient too. Just 6km south of Cork Airport, it is 2.4km from Ballygarvan village, 15km from Kinsale and 21km from Bandon.

The holding is laid out in two fields, and the price guide is €20,000/acre — a very reasonable level considering all its attributes.
