29-acre holding near Valentia Island bridge guiding €14.8k/acre

The 29-acre coastal farm is close to the access point for Valentia Island via the bridge linking it the mainland and it’s also the departure point for sailings out to the Skellig Islands.

New to the market with Caherciveen-based auctioneer Pauline Sugrue is a 29-acre holding on the shoreline beside Portmagee in West Kerry.

This is the access point for Valentia Island via the bridge linking it the mainland and it’s also the departure point for sailings out to the Skellig Islands.

This particular parcel of land, however, is as an attractive piece of Kerry as you’ll find — both aesthetically and agriculturally.

“It’s in a lovely spot there, just outside Portmagee village,” says Pauline. “Most of the land is quite good land and there are some outbuildings with it too.”

The holding has the benefit of a concrete yard, leading to a substantial eight-bay slatted livestock unit, complete with a handling crush and central storage passageway, making it suitable for any modern farming operation.

Access is via a laneway leading from the main Reencaragh Road. In this part of the country, there are always possibilities where some parcels of land can be turned to tourism activity. 

While this property is purely zoned agricultural use, there have been precedents set locally, making it a tempting investment at a guide price of €430,000 (€14,800/acre).
