€12,000/acre expected for East Cork farm
Located 4km from Youghal, a 38-acre farm is new to the market with Midleton-based auctioneer David Keane. The property at Kilnatoora is being presented in lots and is described by David Keane as a prime roadside holding. 'At the moment, it's all in permanent pasture,' said Mr Keane, 'but it's a property that could lend itself well to any agricultural enterprise.' Lot 1 consists of 37 acres of land, complete with cattle handling facilities. The price guide is in the region of €440,000 to €450,000 (€12,000/acre). Lot 2 is a fully-enclosed shed of approximately 4,500ft2, with a yard, mains water and electricity, with a price expectation in the region of €100,000. Lot 3 consists of a residence on 0.5 acres of land, with gardens to the front and rear and a private entrance. The price guide for this is €320,000 to €330,000. All lots have good road frontage, the agent says. The two-storey dwelling of the third lot will be a strong attraction in its own right. It is in good condition throughout, enjoys spectacular country views and offers approximately 2,000ft2 of living space. Accommodation includes sitting room, living room, bathroom, kitchen and spare room on the ground floor, while on the first floor there are three bedrooms and a toilet. According to the selling agents, it has oil heating and is well insulated, including the outhouse attached to the kitchen. 'The entire holding is in a prime location,' added Mr Keane. 'It's only a short distance off the N25 from Youghal Bridge.'
