Biodiverse haven near Cork coastline expecting over €20k/acre
1 Is 5km Ballinspittle Property About The Of Townland From Gortnacrusha South, In
With biodiversity becoming increasingly vital to our environment, a 13.25-acre holding near Ballinspittle in Co Cork is sure to pique the interest of a number of people.
The property is in the townland of Gortnacrusha South, about 1.5km from the village that was made famous by a series of alleged sightings of moving statues.
Selling agent Ernest Forde of Clonakilty-based auctioneers Hodnett Forde Property Services describes it as a “haven for nature lovers and organic farming enthusiasts'.
“The land features a diverse mix of native trees, flourishing vegetable plots, abundant orchards and a vibrant wildflower meadow; creating a thriving ecosystem.”
The carefully planned layout of the property promotes ecological balance, he adds
“There’s good interest in it,” Mr Forde says. “It’s an unusual property because of what it is… we’ve had a lot of calls from a lot of people — more in the general area than from outside the area, I would say.”
The interest also includes institutional interest from a further education centre near Kinsale, he says.
“It is very well laid out and the amount of work that the current owners have done has been very well done.”
The price guide for this unique and productive tract of biodiverse land is €250,000 to €300,000, with expectations closer to the higher of those two figures.
