60-acre East Cork holding a tempting prize at €8.3k/acre
The dwelling is very likely to qualify for the various refurbishment grants available, offering strong potential as a residence or as a rental property.
A 60-acre quality farm in the fertile zone of East Cork is new to the market with CCM Property Services. With its proximity to Fermoy and the M8 motorway, it is sure to be in some demand. Located in the townland of Ballyoran near Castlelyons, the property is currently under pasture.
“It’s all in one block, with a laneway going down through a good part of it,” says selling agent Eamonn O’Brien. “Out of the 60 acres, there are about eight acres that will require attention, but the rest of the ground is dry, it’s in grass and it’s a clay soil… nice, level workable land.”
The property has a private well, an electrical supply and a good farmyard with outbuildings.
“The main building consists of a good-quality three-column round roof barn with a lean-to,” says Mr O'Brien “Then there’s a residence, which has been unoccupied for a number of years. It has a corrugated roof and it has its own access onto the public road.”
The dwelling is very likely to qualify for the various refurbishment grants available, offering strong potential as a residence or as a rental property.
This is an attractive holding with a couple of interesting strings to its bow and in a good location less than 3km from Fermoy town and 35km from Cork city centre, with an asking price that is likely to tempt a few punts.
“We’re offering the entire 60 acres with a very modest guide price of €500,000 (€8,300/acre),” says Mr O'Brien.
