A c47.8ac holding is on the market near Killeagh in Co Cork. The property is at Kilcounty and is being sold by CCM by private treaty.

The land is in one block and includes c34.5ac of pasture with the balance of c13.3ac under forestry.

This holding was run as an outfarm to a dairy farm, and was used for silage and grazing young stock. The owner is now scaling back operations.

The pasture was reseeded earlier this autumn and, according to auctioneer Eamonn O’Brien, it now has “a lovely coat of grass."

The forestry was planted in two tranches. One block was planted in 1998 and has Noble Fir with a mix of broadleaves. The second block was planted in 2008 and is predominantly Sitka Spruce which is a large, coniferous, evergreen tree.

This is good quality grazing and silage land.

The land comes with a cattle holding pen and a crush, a well with a pumphouse, and an electricity connection.

There are entitlements to the EU Basic Payment Scheme and the land has qualified each year for ANC – the annual payments under both schemes total approximately €3,200.

The guide price is €460,000 – this has been offered and the auctioneer is now inviting final, higher offers. The land is located approximately 8.2km from Klleagh, 7.4km from Dungourney, and 16.7km from Midleton.
