A hill farm on the edge of Belfast is on the market with a guide price of £2,500/ac (€2,800/ac). The property extending to 241ac is located at Cave Hill, on the north side of the city.
The sale is being managed by Osborne King and the property is to be sold by public auction at 11am on Friday 1 May 2020 in Belfast Castle.
