Description

Rockvale House & Lands, Ballydoyle, Castletownroche, Co. Cork
Outstanding c. 46.5 Hectare (c. 115 Acre) Agricultural Holding
Rockvale House and Lands represent one of the finest agricultural holdings in County Cork. The property comprises prime quality limestone land, a beautifully refurbished period residence, and an extensive range of modern, well-maintained farm buildings arranged in a highly functional layout.
The holding forms a walled estate on one side, providing excellent privacy and shelter, while the River Awbeg gently defines the opposite boundary, adding to the properties scenic appeal.
Ideally situated equidistant from Mallow, Fermoy, and Mitchelstown, the holding also enjoys convenient access to Cork and Limerick, both approximately one hours drive away.
The residence and yard are approached via a tarmacadam avenue, with the lands laid out in well-proportioned, securely fenced paddocks benefiting from a reliable water supply and an excellent internal roadway network.
