The property consists of a circa 95-acre farm holding and is strategically located on the eastern perimeter of Macroom town, along the Coachford and Rusheen roads. The land rises up from the flood plain of the Sullane River to over 400ft above sea level.
The farm was rented out until 2016 and as a result a good proportion of the ground was reseeded during the period of that lease. Overall, the fields are in-grass and the farm land could be classified as dry. There are two fields requiring reseeding and the property is laid out in over 18 divisions.

Dairy buildings
There are an array of farm buildings, including a shed with a lean-to and a disused five-unit milking parlour and dairy. There is also a crush and collection yard. All are in need of modernisation but offer the basics needed if one was to stock the farm sooner rather than later. The yard also offers plenty of potential, with an old silage slab as well as other concrete bases and storage areas. There is a gravel roadway leading out of the yard towards the fields.
Planning permission
There also exists an opportunity for two potential planning permissions. The first is an old dwelling located at the entrance to the property. The second is situated in a field north of the yard and consists of a large roofless ruin. From this, there are excellent views to the east where the rivers Lee and Sullane meet and Macroom town is visible to the west. According to John Hinchion of Sherry FitzGerald, it provides a good opportunity to acquire a significant block of land that could be easily managed and is within close proximity of the town.
The new Macroom bypass runs adjacent to the southern boundary of the farm, which allows for ease of transport. The farm will be sold via public auction at 3pm on Friday 10 November at the Castle Hotel, Main Street, Macroom, Co Cork. The property is guided at €8,500/acre and to date there has been good interest from all sectors, including both local and outside interest.
