Two blocks of good-quality land have come on the market near Ballinspittle, Co Cork, for sale by private treaty.

One is 47ac, the other is 22ac and they are a few kilometres apart. The selling agent is Hodnett Forde.

There’s a lot of very good land in this wider area and the farming is a mix of grass and tillage. Both of the blocks for sale have been in tillage.

The bigger 47ac block is at Clashreagh, which is about 3.5km east of Ballinspittle and about 13km from Kinsale.

The field at Clashreagh, now in stubble.

This ground has good road frontage on to three roads, one being the L7289. For those interested, it has sea views.

The holding is in three fields and is currently in stubble after spring barley. This property is being offered in one or three lots, as follows:

  • Lot 1 – 30ac. This has frontage on two roads.
  • Lot 2 – 6ac. This is across the road from Lot 1. It also has frontage on two roads.
  • Lot 3 - 11ac. This is a small distance up the road from lots 1 and 2. It has frontage on one road.
  • The 22ac block

    The other block is at Garrettstown. That location is approximately 4km from Ballinspittle and a 15-minute drive from Kinsale.

    The land at Garretstown.

    The holding is laid out in two divisions, again currently in stubble after spring barley. This ground has frontage on to two roads and also has sea views.

    The stubble field at Garretstown is nice sloping ground.

    This property can be sold in 1 or 2 lots, as follows:

  • Lot 1 - 11.8ac.
  • Lot 2 - 10.5ac.
  • Auctioneer Ernest Forde said that the guide price for the two blocks of land is €13,000/ac to €15,000/ac and that there is good interest from local farmers in the two properties.
