104-acre Cork farm with tempting price should bring bidders
The selling agents says there are about 60 acres of very good land.
Mallow-based O’Connell Auctioneers are bringing an interesting 104-acre farm in North Cork to the market, in the Lombardstown area.
There is a high density of progressive dairy farmers within short reach of the holding at Gneeves; 14km from Mallow, 16km from Kanturk and 6km from Bweeng village.
The property is located very close to Laharan Cross — one of the few places in Ireland where the tradition of dancing at the crossroads has been maintained well into the 21st century.
“There are about 60 acres of very good land,” says selling agent John G O’Connell. “The remaining 40 acres or so is more suitable for forestry.”
The farm isn’t a turnkey property: work will be required by the next owner to bring it up to the high standard that the ground is clearly capable of.
It also benefits from the existence of a derelict house and outbuildings.
In an era of high residential rents and grant-aid assistance for refurbishing old and derelict dwellings, it’s a strong asset for any agricultural holding to have.
“All the services are there,” adds John. “It’s a fabulous opportunity to acquire a substantial quantity of acres in a good location.”
The price guide is a very tempting €750,000 (€7,500/acre): a rare opportunity to gain a strong agricultural foothold in this active part of Munster.
