The 94ac at Peafield, Ballinadee close to Bandon are brought to the market by John Hodnett of Hodnett Forde property services, Clonakilty.
With the strength of farming in the area it comes as no surprise that, John Hodnett has said there has been strong interest so far.
Set in a renowned farming heartland with dairy, beef and tillage all having a very strong heritage in an area well known for its progressive farmers.
Land and location
The farm is currently in grass and is laid out in two divisions – the bulk of which are on a headland jutting out into the Bandon river. A tributary of the west Cork river forms the southern boundary.
As it’s located on the estuary of the river, tides mean a smaller area of roughly 5ac are close to the tidal waters, while at least 75ac could be described as the best of land and suitable for any enterprise or crop.
There is a small 5ac parcel located across the road from the main division.
There is road frontage available but the stand-out feature here is the extensive river frontage which lends an old-world feel to this stunning property located a short walk east of Ballinadee village.
Accessed off the road via a private lane, the residence is the dominant feature in the yard.
The residence
Consisting of a detached two-storey farmhouse, the residence has five bedrooms and offers plenty of options for any prospective buyers.
With excellent views over the river it does offer a potential tourism slant if desired. An oil-fired central-heating system is installed in the house, but it’s fair to say the house requires some rennovations.
The downstairs consists of a kitchen, utility room, living room, sitting room and office all of similar size. The property is serviced with private water and drainage and has electricity.
The farmyard
Moving out to the yard a selection of stone buildings with slate roof, again offer a non-agricultural slant if desired.
The yard is functional and can go to use straight away if required but there is scope for modernising.
The other outbuildings comprise of cubicle house, hay barn and a silo – both with a lean-to. There is also a slatted house.
There may be future scope for a tourism angle given its waterfront element and it’s situated 20 minutes from both Bandon and Kinsale and a half hour drive from Cork airport. This is certainly a property to watch and is guided at €1.1m.
