The owner of a 62-acre residential farm situated in Gortroe, Lombardstown, Co Cork, was a keen welder and blacksmith in his day. Over the years, he milked cows on his Gortroe farm, before making the switch to drystock. Today, his entire farm is being offered for sale, along with a two-storey residence and a sizeable farmyard, through joint agents Christy Buckley, Ballinhassig, and Murray Browne Auctioneers, Cork. The farm, which is described as a “top class, level farm”, is split by roads and is set out in six different lots, all within close proximity of each other. One of these lots, extending to nine acres, is situated on the outskirts of Lombardstown village and has been zoned.
