99-acre West Cork coastal farm with unique Second World War role for sale
Inchydoney Clonakilty And Between At Farm Is Island Beach The Strand,
With a stunning, unique location, a 98.6-acre holding on the West Cork coast is new to the market with Clonakilty-based auctioneers Martin Kelleher Property Ltd. The farm is at Island Strand, between Inchydoney Beach and Clonakilty.
“The location here is fantastic,” says Mr Kelleher. “It has extensive public road frontage, and it’s in an area of outstanding natural beauty.”
With Clonakilty 2.5km away and access to Bandon and Cork City beyond, it’s a well-located holding with plenty of high-quality pasture. This fertile part of West Cork has become a hotspot in recent years, with several strong prices being achieved.
Large tracts of land such as this one are quite rare on the local market, so even with about 25 acres underwater, the interest should be quite keen.
“This land represents an excellent opportunity for anyone looking to expand their current holding or invest in additional farmland,” says Mr Kelleher.
This property’s other claim to fame is for being the place where an American bomber made an emergency landing in 1943, with its full aircrew (including spider monkey Tojo) surviving.
The price guide of €695,000 (€7,000/acre) is reflective of its singular qualities.
