102-acre North Cork farm guiding €9,500/acre
A 102-acre holding in the co-operative heartland of North Cork is new to the market with Mallow-based auctioneers Murphy Browne.
The farm is at Brookpark and Finnanfield, just off the historic Butter Road, 8km from Millstreet and 33km from Mallow.
'We're guiding it around €9,500 per acre,' says selling agent Pat Murphy of the property, which is separated into two parts by the public road, with one section across the public road from the other.
'There are 68 acres in one block, with the farmyard and the residence, and on the other 34-acre block, there is another farmyard with a three-column shed and cattle crush. The house is a four-bedroom farmhouse which is in need of modernisation.'
The holding enjoys a great deal of road frontage, making it ideal even as an outside farm.
'For over half of the lands, we'd consider it good grazing ground,' said Mr Murphy.
'The remainder of it would need some work but it has good potential… In the main bulk of land, the yard includes a few nice stone outbuildings, a barn, lean-to and feeding bins, an old milking parlour and cattle crushes.
'A lot of the interest is local interest and we'd expect interest from farther afield as well, given that it's such a large block of land and the price guide is reasonable.'
