167-acre East Cork farm guiding €16.5k/acre
Farm is 2.5km north of Ballymacoda village and 10km east of Castlemartyr.
New to the market with Cork-City based Michael McKenna Auctioneers is a 167-acre farm at Aghavine, Ballymacoda.
The property is set out in grass and tillage and is in a much sought-after part of East Cork, 2.5km north of Ballymacoda village and 10km east of Castlemartyr.
The access is excellent, with the R633 running through the property east-west as it crosses the estuary of the River Dissour. There is also a central farm roadway giving access to the fields.
The farmyard buildings include cubicles, scratchers and tanks, slatted units to accommodate 280 cattle and a former (now unused) 14-unit milking parlour.
“This is one of the largest holdings that has come to the market this year,” says selling agent Mick McKenna. “Historically, it has been a dairy farm but it has been a mixed farm for the last 25 years.
“There are about 117 acres of excellent quality and for the remaining 50 acres, conditions would not want to be wet in order to use them.
“The location is very good… it should attract a lot of interest.”
The price guide is €16,500/acre — a reasonable average, all things considered.
