Berry nice: 53 acres for the picking at Rathcooney

Sources say a land deal with FPP worth over €20m is being quietly marketed at Cork's Rathcooney: this offer is priced at €3.2m

Rathcooney and Ballyvolane are lining up for development of over 1,500 new homes just north of Cork city. This 53 acres at Arderrow now joins the fray, guided at €3.2 million by joint agents  CBRE and ERA Downey McCarthy

The arrival for sale last week of 53 acres of land at Rathcooney, Cork, has put into focus the area’s future strategic growth for residential development.

Plans for over 1,500 homes are either granted or advanced in the planning/SHD pipeline just beyond the North Ring Rd around Ballyvolane, Rathcooney, and the Fox & Hounds landmark hub, with unconfirmed reports of one site with planning for 750 units in place, attracting possible buyer interest at sums in excess of €20m, or €30,000 per housing units, in a low-key market offer.
