Guide price of €29k/acre for 43-acre East Cork stud farm
The 43-acre farm at Castlelyons, Co. Cork, is set up for the equestrian world but will interest other sectors too.
New to the market with Fermoy-based auctioneers Dick Barry & Son and Andrew Nolan of Goffs Property, a 43-acre stud farm in East Cork is a typically high-quality holding in this part of the world.
It’s set up for the equestrian world but will interest other sectors too.
“It’s a national hunt stud farm,” says selling agent Michael Barry of Dick Barry & Son. “The owner spent a lot of money developing the stables and yards and all the facilities.”
The owner also obtained full planning permission to build a house; it’s uniquely applicable to him, but such strong planning history augurs well for the next owner if they wish to get permission for a dwelling.
The village of Castlelyons is just 1.5kms away, while the busy town of Fermoy is 13.5kms from the farm and Cork City is 37kms.
The farm is being offered in lots — something that may cater for the combined interests of stud farm operators and other farmers.
Lot 1: Main yard and adjoining lands on ca. 26.5 acres (including restricted planning permission for a 3,700ft residence)
Lot 2: 13.2 acres
Lot 3: 3.2 acres
Lot 4: Entire 43-acre farm
“It’s a superb, well laid-out farm with excellent shelter,” says Michael, “with 11 stock-proof paddocks and water into each division.”
The overall price guide is €1,250,000 (€29,000/acre).
