38a East Cork holding with useful outbuildings guiding €18k/acre
The outbuildings on the 38-acre farm at Knocknagapple, Conna, Co. Cork.
Located in a townland that suggests a place famous for horses, a 38-acre holding in East Cork offers quality grassland in an area as well known for equestrian operations as it is for progressive dairy farmers.
The holding at Knocknagapple is on the main Conna-Rathcormac road (the R628) that leads over the border into Tallow, Co. Waterford. Conna village is 4km away and Rathcormac approximately 10km to the west.
“There’s loads of road frontage on this property,” says William O’Connell of Mallow-based selling agents O’Connell Auctioneers, “both on the main road and on a side road off that.
“It’s a fine piece of land. It has been rented in recent years but, apart from one or two paddocks needing a small bit of tidying up, it has been very well maintained… there are no wet patches or anything like that on it.”
The proliferation of one-off houses on both roads means that the property would lend itself to the possibility of getting planning permission to build a house at some later point – an aspect that can only have a positive effect on the overall value of the holding.
Overall, there should be a keen level of interest for this probate sale. With a range of old but useful outbuildings on site, price expectation is in the region of €18,000/acre.
