The area around Beaufort, near Killarney, is renowned for its quality of land. Whenever a property comes up in this part of the world, there is always a level of excitement in the local area and beyond.
This is the case with a 20-acre parcel that’s recently been listed with Killarney auctioneers Ken O’Sullivan & Co. The holding is in the townland of Carhoonahone, 3km from Beaufort village and 10km from Killorglin.
“It has road frontage and it’s a parcel of ground that would be a nice addition to any dairy farming enterprise,” says Ken, who reveals that the property is already under offer.
The position of the property is very appealing — particularly for anyone who might be dreaming of eventually building a house on it, with its theatrical views of the McGillicuddy Reeks.
The land quality is very good, with excellent grassland, according to the agents; with only a small southern section being a little more low-lying than the rest.
“It’s all very good, to be honest,” says Ken. “There’s just about seven acres that are a bit low-lying.”
Access is good with two access points off the public road.
Offers so far have pushed the value of this coveted piece of Kerry grassland to around €20,000/acre and the agents believe that it may exceed that level.
