Only on the market a week and already under offer. That’s the position on a 55.3-acre residential holding situated at Farnagark, Kilbrittain, Bandon, which comes to the market with a two-storey residence, a range of farm buildings, entitlements to the value of €6,000, 53 acres of top-quality land and magnificent sea views.

Described as a “cracking farm”, the property was once home to a dairy herd, but has been used in recent years for tillage and grazing.

For those familiar with the area, it is situated behind the Pink Elephant restaurant and extends down to Rathclaren Church.

“We will expect to invite final offers over the next two to three weeks. This farm is oozing quality and there is something there for everyone,” said auctioneer Henry O’Leary, Clonakilty.

Set out in two blocks, the house on c.23.6 acres is located directly across from the yard, and the remaining c.31.7 acres.

About two-thirds of the farm is in tillage – there is still some beet growing in one of the fields – while the remainder is in grass. The location is stunning, overlooking Harbour View, and within walking distance of the beach.

Extending to 2,600 square feet, the residence is a substantial six-bedroom family house which benefits from breath-taking sea views.

This can be bought as a separate lot on 2.49 acres. Behind the house is another lot that extends to 21.13 acres, laid out in three attractive fields.

The yard, which is across the road, features a range of buildings that include a slatted shed, cubicle housing for 40 cattle, a hayshed and a disused milking parlour.

The yard is being offered with 24.17 acres and this lot features dual road frontage.

Lying adjacent to the 24.17 acres is the final lot comprising a 7.55-acre tillage field. There is substantial road frontage with each of the four lots.

South-facing and without waste, the farm is currently for sale by private treaty at a guide price of €12,000/acre. It’s understood that there are offers on each of the lots and on the entire. CL
