Lee Valley farm has many advantages

YOUR average farm sale doesn’t register on the radar of city buyers, but one particular holding in the Lee Valley should see huge interest when it goes to auction on February 17.

Classes, Carrigadrohid has an unassuming bungalow residence and around 75 acres of good arable land, but its real draw is a long, lakeshore boundary on the Lee near Macroom, but also within commuting distance of the city.

Because of strict regulations all along this valley, planning permission to build a house is almost impossible. The demand for the area, however, is huge, not only because it’s a beautiful location, but because the road connection to the city is excellent, especially now that the Ballincollig bypass is open.
