Quantity in today’s market matters almost as much as quality and for a 331-acre hill West Cork hill farm — new to the market with Clonakilty-based auctioneers Hodnett Forde Property Services — this idea seems to be borne out by the level of interest in it so far. The holding is at Derryriordane, amidst the beguiling hills near such well-known spots as Gougane Barra, Inchigeelagh and Ballingeary. Some of the lands near the house and yard on the 331-acre farm, Derryriordane, Inchigeela. The 331-acre farm 'comprises about 50 acres of reasonably good pasture land, with the remaining lands consisting of rough grazing'. “It’s on the market 10 days or so and is already under offer.”The guide price is an enticing €800,000 (€2,400/acre).
