Anytime a farm comes up for sale in a farming heartland, interest is usually strong and this is certainly the case for a 47.5ac non-residential holding in the Duhallow region of Co Cork.

Located on the outskirts of the village of Knocknagree, this property is for sale by private treaty.

“This farm is attracting an awful lot of interest,” said Millstreet-based auctioneer, Catherine Pomeroy of Dick Pomeroy & Co Auctioneers. “The likes of it doesn’t come up for sale too often in the area. It’s a very attractive proposition and the fact it has excellent access with extensive road frontage on to roads is a major plus.”

Currently all in grass and all in one block, the land is divided into 13 separate fields with mature hedgerows forming the boundaries between them. The vast majority of the land is in excellent condition with a portion of softer land on the southern boundary that fronts onto a tributary of the River Blackwater.

The area is noted in dairy circles with a number of milk processing facilities close by, and this farm is less than 6km from the Mondelez International plant in Rathmore. Further dairy processing plants can be found in Newmarket and Kanturk, both within 30 minutes’ drive of this particular land holding.

A 47.5ac grassland farm in the Duhallow region of Co Cork has attracted strong interest since it was placed on the market recently.

The property comprises of agricultural land laid out in several divisions which are slightly intersected but remain connected by an internal farm passageway.

Road frontage on to two public roads provides good accessibility, while mains water and electricity are connected across the holding.

The land is described as good quality overall, with approximately 17 acres noted as heavier ground.

Close to the roadside, there are a number of older farm buildings, including an old milking parlour and cubicle shed, along with additional outbuildings.

While these structures require upgrading, they may offer potential for refurbishment or redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permission, and could appeal to purchasers seeking an established yard footprint.

Situated in the border area between Cork and Kerry, this farm is 11km from Boherbue while this holding is equidistant at 23km from livestock marts at Kanturk, Co Cork and Castleisland, Co Kerry.

It is guided at €470,000 and this is going to be a farm to keep an eye on by all accounts.
