A piggery has gone on the market in Lislevane North, Bandon, Courtmacsherry, Co Cork, presenting a rare chance to acquire an established agricultural asset in an area where new pig units are almost impossible to develop.

For sale by private treaty with Irish Rural Homes, the holding includes the existing pig farm, a residential property and ancillary outbuildings.

Just 3km from Staunton Foods, the farm sits in a region renowned for pork production, and was in operation as a commercial farm until last year.

Situated on a single 15ac block of quality tillage land, the existing farm infrastructure is being sold as seen.

A four-bedroom, sea-facing, dormer bungalow offers plenty of living space.

Built in the 1970s-1980s, the house is liveable, though it may need some modenisation.

Adjacent to this is the original derelict farmhouse and two stone outbuildings, which offer further development potential, subject to the necessary permissions.

Within a 5-minute drive of Lislevane village, the farm is close to local retail amenities, including Barryroe Co-op and supermarket.

The bustling town of Clonakilty is a further 13km east. Several beaches lie in a 6km radius, offering a choice of scenic coastal spots for leisure activities.

Guided in the region of €20,000/ac to €25,000/ac, the holding is a multifaceted opportunity. It could prove fruitful as a commercial farm, a tourism enterprise, a self-sufficient holding, or even, a combination of all three.
