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