Glanmire's derelict mill site for sale for €575,000
A long, lush, and overgrown slice of Riverstown/Glanmire history has come up for sale in the outline shape of Ballinglanna Mills and old former mill house on 2.5 acres.
Overlooking Sarsfield GAA club and a currently under development of c 30 units being constructed by Brightwater developments, the long-derelict and overgrown mill and fire-damaged former residence mill house is priced at €575,000 by estate agent Robert Coughlan of Cohalan Downing, acting for a private vendor with long associations with the site.
Ballinglanna Mills & Mill House
Zoned as 'sustainable residential neighbourhoods,' it's close to the long-established Brookfield estate, near a Lidl, and almost unnecessarily is described as 'available with the benefit of vacant possession' because it has been idle for decades.
Despite a long mill history in the Glanmire/Riverstown valley just east of Cork City noted for a number of 18th and 19th mills along the Glashaboy River, for cloth mills, distiller and grains, it fronts the Cliff Road and is above the river level on an slightly elevated, hillside setting.
This is heavily treed, and has a right of way over an adjoining access road serving the new development alongside its long boundary.
Ballinglanna Mills & Mill House
It's approximately 2.5 acres and while the mill activity is now historic, part of the site with hardstanding has been used in more recent decades for commercial storage. It may have short-term use for a buyer/occupier for similar, if cleared back, pending later development, it has been suggested.
'It's only on a few days and the interest to date is more from the residential development sector,' says Mr Coughlan, who adds that the price at €575k 'reflects the nature of the site,' with the former mill a protected structure.
With an overgrown pedestrian link to the Brookville estate, it's close to Riverstown village/neighbourhood centre with a Lidl and commercial/community services, about 1km from the extensive Hazelwood Shopping Centre.
The Ballinglanna Glanmire name has been resurrected from its venerable mills past to now be widely known for the 600-home scheme of the same name completed by O'Flynn Group, which is about to embark on a further major development at Dunkathel House, after a c 20-year wait.
Now part of Cork City after a boundary extension, its zoning in the Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028 is 'sustainable residential neighbourhoods' 'to protect and provide for residential uses and amenities, local services and community, institutional, educational and civic uses'.

Two New Zealand wines from Lidl that don't compromise on quality
Lidl offer several Marlborough sauvignon, reflecting the popularity of the wine in Ireland. The Deluxe and Summerhouse are both good, but so too is the Cimarosa, and it costs a euro less. Pinot noir is the most popular red grape in New Zealand, evidence of how well it performs in the cool but sunny maritime climate. It is unusual to see one from Hawke's Bay, which is better known for merlot and syrah, but this is still a classic example of the style. Cimarosa Marlborough Sauvignon 2024 12.5% abv, €9.99 Benchmark Marlborough sauvignon with aromas of elderflower and mango. The palate is refreshing, with zingy lime zest and fresh pear and kiwi fruits. Enjoy by itself or with herby Asian prawns or chicken. From Lidl READ MORE Deluxe NZ Pinot Noir 2022, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand 13% abv, €11.99 Very pale in colour with juicy ripe sweet/sour raspberry and red cherry fruits.
