Property heaven-sent opportunity for buyer

SPRINGFIELD is a gem of a property - it’s that simple.

The chance to buy 4.5 acres in a secret, verdant location 10 minutes from town doesn’t come up that often, so buyers should get their skates on, especially as selling agent, Sheila O’Flynn of Sherry FitzGerald, already has an offer of the asking of €750,000.

Springfield in Rocklodge, Carrigrohane, was originally part of the estate of Rocklodge House, owned by brewing family, the Lanes and later by the Haughtons, the Cork timber importing family. Now broken up into smaller holdings, the roadways around the estate still carry large, specimen trees.
