76ac residential farm is on the market in Cork

Hodnett Forde Property Services, Clonakilty have a circa 76ac residential holding at Dromerk, Dunmanway, Co Cork new to the market.

For sale by private treaty, the farm is about 5km northeast of the town of Dunmanway and it has a southerly aspect. The land is typical of the area and is a mix of excellent grass land with some elevated areas of mixed grazing also included.

Well maintained and managed, it has both old and modern farm buildings and there is a roadway that leads from the yard to the adjoining land.

The land is contained in three unequal roadside divisions, each of which have excellent road frontage allowing easy access in a busy farming area. As a result, it is being offered to the market in lots.

Lot 1 contains 26.3ac of very good quality grazing or silage ground together and the main farmyard is also in this lot. A modern three-bay slatted shed with lie back is also in this lot.

The presence of this slurry storage could be appealing given the rise in construction costs in recent years and the demand on extra slurry storing capacity from farmers in the wider west Cork region.

Just behind the slatted shed, there is a lean-to and an older farm building that can be used for storage. There is also a gated concrete yard and a feed bin for storage.

Moving south across the road to the circa 39.9ac that makes up Lot 2, this block of ground is divided into about 16ac of mixed grazing ground and 23ac of young forestry.

Lot 3 is 7.5ac of good pasture ground. It is on the same side of the road as Lot 1 but a short distance away from the house and yard. There is a guide price of €750,000 on the land.

The residence with adjacent out-buildings set on 2.5ac makes up Lot 4. A traditional style three-bed residence, it is guided at €195,000.
