A parcel of land in Castleisland has sold for over €1 million.
The 74 acre (30 hectare) non-residential farm at Ballygree was auctioned by Tom Spillane & Co. Auctioneers in Killarney recently.
The land is 3km from Castleisland, off the N23, and includes a farmhouse and outbuildings that are in poor repair.

Bidding started at €700,000 for the lot and rose to €920,000, at which point it was withdrawn.
After negotiations, the property was formally sold to a local farmer for a figure believed to be in excess of €1 million, which represents a sum of €14,500 per acre.
