The first of two west Cork properties for sale is a 47ac farm on the western side of Bandon, It is located near Laragh, 4km from the town.
Ernest Forde from Hodnett Forde property services, Clonakilty described it as “an outstanding road side piece of land. It’s nice and compact and has been rented out for a good few years.
Locals would always have classed it as a good farm. It’s guided in the region of €12,000 to €14,000/ac.”
The river Brinny forms the northern boundary but the land is elevated from it so there are no flooding issues. This is also well-sheltered ground.
The property is in one block and laid out in a number of good-sized divisions with road frontage onto two roads. It is currently in grass and tillage.

They are made up of a three-bay round-roof shed with lean-to on either side. Within this is a slatted area and a loose lying or storage area. There is also an open slurry pit and an electricity supply.
