€1m sought for 116-acre East Cork farm, with pasture, forestry and house
The house on 116 acres at Yellowford, Ballymacoda, Co. Cork.
New to the market, Cork-city-based McCarthy & McGrath Auctioneers is a 116-acre holding in East Cork. The property presents an interesting offer – mostly in forestry but with excellent grassland and a house in habitable order.
The farm is at Yellowford, Ballymacoda – 6.5 km from Killeagh and the N25, 12km from Youghal and 18km from Midleton.
“Of the 116 acres here, there are 96 acres of forestry,” says selling agent Miah McGrath. “The forestry is under contract so there’s an immediate income from that for the next owner.
“The house is a traditional farmhouse. It was built in the 1860s and re-roofed in 2010. It has oil-fired central heating, with a new boiler having been installed in 2024… The lands are laid out in 5 divisions, all surrounding the house.
“There is also a selection of older stone farm buildings, which include a 3-column hay shed and a single lean-to.”
Accommodation in the house includes a porch entrance, hallway, dining room, sitting room, bedroom and kitchen on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a second toilet.
The farm is being sold in one lot but the owners are not ruling out the idea of selling the property in lots, should the market so dictate.
The guide price is an attractive €1,000,000 (€8,600/acre).
