Land for sale: farm by the sea on 127 acres on the Cork coast
Auctioneer John Hodnett of Hodnett Forde, Clonakilty, is bringing a fantastic coastal property to the market on the Sheep's Head peninsula, writes Tommy Moyles.
A 127-acre residential farm, accompanied by outbuildings, commonage and entitlements, has just hit the market. Located in the scenic Cork countryside, it is situated on the main coastal route between Durrus and Kilcrohane.
The house and yard are accessed via a gravel laneway from the L4704, which forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way. Like much of the farm, this area is south-facing, with magnificent views across Dunmanus bay to the Mizen peninsula.

The land
There are approximately 65 acres of excellent-quality pasture land, which is laid out in a number of fields. The remaining lands are only suited to grazing. There is also rights to commonage, which is located across the road at the rear of the property. The land rises from the shoreline up to a height of 200 feet above sea level.
Across from the main land block is a nine-acre island, which is accessed from the road by crossing a rocky beach. This can be grazed and has been recently used for silage.
From a farm perspective it is ready to go for any potential buyer, with animal housing, handling facilities and grass in place for grazing. This would allow a start to be made straight away. It offers plenty potential for livestock rearing, with laneways running from the yard to access the different parts of the farm.
The yard consists of a number of functional buildings ranging in age but all in working order. A four-bay slated house dominates the yard. It has a wide feed passage with slatted pens on one side and cubicles and slats on the other. To the side of this building is another unroofed slated tank which offers the option of increasing housing capacity if required.
On the opposite side of the slated house there is a large walled silage slab. An assortment of older buildings are present throughout the yard, offering different future uses. These include storage sheds as well as a hay shed with a lean-to either side of it. A crush and animal holding pens are next to the dwelling house.
Payments
There are annual payments of circa €10,700 included in the sale. These are made up of a BPS of €9,500 and annual payment of €1,200 for having land included in the Sheeps Head Way walk.
Residence
The residence is a solid stone-built farm house. The downstairs consists of a sun porch, living room, bathroom, kitchen and back kitchen. There are four bedrooms upstairs. All the windows are PVC and the house was recently reroofed. The dwelling has oil-fired central heating and a deep bore well provides a private water source to the house and land.
This property offers many options to purchasers, with a sizeable land block available in a stunning location on the middle of west Corks three peninsulas.
There is a guide price of between €600,000 (4,700/ac) and €650,000 (5,100/ac) on the property.
