#WATERFRONT PROPERTY - Impressive non-residential farm-quality lands overlooking Oysterhaven Bay in Co Cork are on the market for €2.55 million.

Extending to 270 acres, Ballymacus Farm - just 6km from Kinsale - is being offered for sale in the entire. The farm represents quality arable land with easily managed divisions, a superb coastal position and a pleasant undulating aspect.

The majority of the farm is in tillage production and laid out in five principal divisions, with the balance of the farm comprising pasturage along the headland areas.

However, the farm would be equally suitable for use as dairying, dry stock or mixed enterprise farming, albeit with fencing and the provision of services and buildings required. An existing but dated farmstead could provide a basis for a modern farmyard.

Set at the southeastern end of the peninsula at Breghane Point and facing across to Oysterhaven Bay, the combination of undulating hills, the dramatic coastline and expansive sea views creates a breathtaking experience.

Ballymacus Farm is available through joint agents David Ashmore at Sherry FitzGerald and Christy Buckly with an asking price, of €2,550,000. To arrange a viewing contact Christy Buckly at 021 488 5173 or David Ashmore at 01 237 6320.
