A 60ac coastal farm with residential potential is on the market near Kinsale, Co Cork. For sale by private treaty with Hodnett Forde Property Services, the farm at Old Head, Co Cork, is set out in a single compact block, with sweeping views over Dooneen Bay, Bullens Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Currently in pasture and tillage, the parcel is well-maintained and of good quality, with extensive frontage onto two roads.

Having originally been farmed as part of a larger fragmented dairy enterprise, the land has been used for drystock in more recent years.

Residential potential comes from a derelict farmhouse in the centre of the holding, which is listed for sale separately to the land. While any development would be subject to planning permission, the presence of the old dwelling may indicate scope for consideration. A small yard to the front of this building is currently used as a silage pit. Both the land and the ruin have independent access to the main road, meaning they can be sold separately.

Located five miles from the town of Kinsale, Co Cork, the holding benefits from proximity to a wide range of retail and leisure amenities, including the nearby Old Head golf course. Cork city and airport are a 35-minute drive.

Currently under offer, the ruin and small yard are expected to yield in the region of €350,000, while the lands are guided in excess of €20,000/ac.
