€950,000 price tag on mixed-soil 150-acre farm

THE history of this farm at Gortigrenane, Minane Bridge, mirrors the history of the country.

In the rich fertile plains of south Cork, the land has passed through blood lines and through bloody warfare, and this townland is no exception.

It was taken by the de Cogans as part of the Norman conquest, and ceded to the Earls of Desmond in the 15th century, before being purchased by the Daunts from the St Legers following the Cromwellian invasion. The Daunt/Stoughton family remained landlords up to the 1880s.
