26a East Cork farm with benefits guiding almost €31k/acre

Holding includes a well-maintained three-bedroom bungalow, several outbuildings and a derelict farmhouse

The outbuildings and old farmhouse on the 26 acres at Transtown, Watergrasshill, Co Cork. default

Located 5km from Watergrasshill in East Cork and within easy reach of the M7/M8 motorway, a 26-acre holding at Transtown is new to the market with Fermoy-based auctioneers Dick Barry & Son.

“The land is very good — sound and level,” says selling agent Michael Barry. “It’s very well laid out and well-fenced and it has its own private water supply.”

As well as the high-quality land, there are also the added benefits of a house, several outbuildings and even further potential in the existence of a derelict farmhouse on site.

“There’s a number of outbuildings in all, including a three-column barn with a double lean-to, a machinery shed, another three-column shed and a cattle crush,” says Mr Barry.

Land is well-fenced and has its own private water supply.

The three-bedroom bungalow is an attractive home, he says, and is well-maintained and in good condition. Accommodation includes a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom.

There is further potential in a two-storey farmhouse on the land. It’s in a derelict condition but has the potential to be renovated/rebuilt for use as another dwelling and has stone outbuildings that can also be used for the same purpose.

The price guide is €800,000. At almost €31,000/acre, it’s a high price but one which is justified in the current market conditions with the combination of assets in this property.
