A 39-acre farm 14km west of Mallow isn’t the only interesting North Cork property making its appearance on the market this week.

The holding is at Ballynoe and features a long stretch of road frontage as well as a two-storey home in excellent condition.

“The best of the land is running alongside the road,” says selling agent Pat Murphy of Mallow-based Murphy-Browne Auctioneers. 

“There are about 23 acres there of top-quality ground. Then 3.6 acres of forestry and the remaining 12.5 acres is a bit higher but still good ground, with spectacular views from it.

The house is good too and, even though you already have a good-sized property in it, there’s planning permission there for a 1,700ft2 extension onto it. 

Accommodation in the house includes a large open-plan kitchen/dining room/ living room and back kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor, a landing leads to a bathroom and two bedrooms.

There is also a 3-column barn with a lean-to structure attached.

The farm is well located, with Kanturk 13km away and Cork City 40km away. It would be ideal for a hobby farmer or for an expanding dairy operation.

“The way that dairy farming has gone, there are a lot of dairy farmers out there looking for a bit of extra land,” says Pat. “There’s good interest in it so far… with some offers already coming in.”

This convenient property will suit a wide range of suitors and its house brings the guide price up to €650,000.
