Auctioneer John Hodnett from Hodnett Forde, Clonakilty is handling the sale of an attractive 16.52-acre residential holding situated at Knocknageehy, Castlefreke, Clonakilty, Co Cork. This is scenic part of West Cork, situated within five minutes’ drive of the blue fag beaches at Owenahincha and Long Strand and just a mile south of the N71 (Cork/Kenmare) road.

Described as a “unique holding”, the property was only launched to the market last week and has already generated a steady level of interest from both local farmers and from outsiders. Given the quaintness of the package, Knocknageehy would make the perfect hobby farm. Just four miles from Clonakilty and Rosscarbery, the property comes with a traditional two bedroom cottage residence, a large garden and a range of stone outbuildings. Split by the road, three-quarters of an acre sits directly across from the cottage and the remaining 15.7 acres.

Laid out in six well fenced fields, the land is currently in pasture, is gently undulating and offers expansive countryside views. With the exception of two acres of low-lying ground in the centre of the property which is currently used as a nature reserve, the remaining 14.5 acres is reported to be “the best of land”.
