The traditional, two-storey farmhouse has been hugely extended to provide hostel accommodation, and it now has eight or nine bedrooms and a number of living rooms.

The land has not been farmed for some time, says Maria Harrington of Key Properties,. who suggests it would suit an organic enterprise or REPS.

Located just outside Adrigole village, the property is on the main Beara route, which has a strong tourist trade, and demand for accommodation is also strong from hill walkers.

The guide price is €495,000.

In good condition, the farmhouse comes with two conservatories, a kitchen-dining room, sitting room and three bathrooms.

The farmyard also has two stone outhouses.
