An 84-acre non-residential roadside farm situated at Wood Road, Dromore, Mallow, Co Cork, has started to generate a steady stream of interest since officially being launched to the market a few weeks ago. The property, which has been used as an outfarm for dairy followers, is less than five minutes’ drive from Mallow and only a mile from the village of Dromahane.

Joint agents Michael O’Donovan from Sherry FitzGerald O’Donovan, Mallow, and Property Partners O’Keeffe, Mallow, are currently offering Dromore for sale in one lot only at a guide price in the region of €900,000.

Apart from local interest, inquiries to date have been also been received from parties in Kerry, Tipperary and the southeast.

At €10,700/acre, it wouldn’t be the most expensive land in the county and it is likely to attract a farmer who is eager to get his hands on an outside 80-acre platform.

Alternatively, it would make a fine startup package for a young enthusiastic farmer.

Set out in one 84-acre block, the layout of the farm resembles a dairy operation with its long central farm roadway that feeds the paddock system on either side.

With the exception of a rectangular field on the left as you drive up the hard-core entrance, the land is practically laid out in one big division, is gently undulating and is serviced by a mains water supply.

The land rises gently from the road giving expansive countryside views which perhaps offers the potential for a lovely house site subject to the appropriate planning permission. It’s understood that all the land has been reseeded over the course of a number of years and is said to be in “very good heart”.

Less than halfway up the entrance, the farmyard comes with a four-bay slatted shed suitable for circa 80 cattle, silage pit and a haybarn. Complete with circa 120 metres of road frontage, the property is within easy reach of the N20 Cork-Limerick road.
