The farm at Kilbeg, Bandon, Co Cork, is bounded to the south by the latter stages of the river Bandon and to the north by a local road.

About 55ac would be considered excellent quality and suitable for any enterprise.

The balance of the land (closest to the river) gently slopes down to the bank of the Bandon resulting in a minimal area of flood plain.

The dwelling has a good roof but is in need of renovation.

The farm is all in one block and is well sheltered, with a southerly aspect. It was leased out in recent years and is currently in a mixture of grass and tillage, almost evenly split between the two. Relatively little of the land on offer could be considered as waste ground.

The farmhouse and yard are centrally located and accessed via a laneway in from the road.

Residence

The farm residence and yard is centrally located on the property and can be accessed via a laneway from the public road. The house is a two-storey dwelling that has a roof but requires full renovation. There is electricity and a private water supply.

The farmyard

While requiring a bit of work, both the yard and outbuildings offer plenty scope in terms of space to work and potential for a redevelopment opportunity.

This holding is available as an entirety or in three separate lots, all of which have access to the river frontage. Fishing rights are also included in the sale.

The house and outbuildings require renovation but offer plenty potential.

Lot A consists of the residence and 12ac with access to the river.

Consisting of 28.5ac lot B is on the eastern boundary of the farm and also encompasses the road frontage on the eastern side of the entrance to the farm.

Lot C is made up of 21ac on the western boundary of the farm which also has some road frontage.

The lands at Kilbeg, Bandon, Co Cork are available for sale in one or three lots. Each of the three lots has access to the river Bandon.

The Bandon valley has long been considered a farming heartland so interest is likely to be strong. There’s an added attraction here of having access to a beautifully picturesque section of the river Bandon.

Sales agent, Ernest Forde has said there has already been a number of enquiries for lot A despite it being on the market only a number of days.

The 61ac residential farm at Kilbeg, Bandon is located between Bandon and Innishannon.

Three kilometres from Bandon town and 30 minutes’ drive from Cork city centre with river frontage and a house and outbuildings ripe for renovation, it’s easy to see why it’s seeing some early interest.

Offers in excess of €15,000/ac are expected, which would be in line with what land in the locality has made in recent years.

That guide would equate to over €900,000, with a good chance this will be exceeded. This sale will be one to watch.
