Development land for sale on Model Farm Road

KEEN interest in zoned housing land, coming to market in Cork’s western suburbs at a guide of €530,000 per acre, is expected due to its location — and to the rapidly advancing pace of an adjoining O’Flynn Construction new development, Steeplewoods.

Listed this week with agent Trevor McCarthy of Irish & European is 6.14 acres of development land site just off the Model Farm Road at Carrigrohane, within easy reach of Bishopstown, Ballincollig, UCC, and CIT, and the city’s main hospitals and business campuses, as well as being close to the Ballincollig bypass link road. It is zoned for development, and is being sold ‘as is’, without planning permission having been sought for it which leaves options for developers/builders as to what house types and density they’d envisage for it.

It’s an executors sale, being sold for the same family which early last year put 4.17 acres with planning in place on it for 27 houses, mostly large detacheds (16), with the balance being large semi-d s of close to 1,500 sq ft.
