Listen to the cuckoo up this west Cork cul-de-sac
Up at the end of a cul-de-sac near the west Cork town is a 52-acre farm, where auctioneer Henry O’Leary was listening to the bird last week, as he walked the land. “I haven’t heard it in years,” the Property Partners agent says, “and the bird is a week late in coming, according to locals.”
He says Hill Grove House, Gurranes North, is overgrown and neglected, but still ‘gorgeous’ and could be classed as organic, making it also suitable for REPS.
The property has a centrally located two-storey farmhouse that’s a ‘walk-in with a builder job’, says Mr O’Leary, but he says the guide price of €350,000 is good value represents good value.
The farm has plenty of road frontage, being divided in two by the main road.
The southern block is further divided by a river and, according to the agent, Hill Grove offers sheltered grazing land, it has a young forestry plantation to the rear and along the southern boundary and in its day, it would have been a productive farm. The house is stone built and can be purchased with as little as two acres.
The property is also available in three lots. Lot 1 comprises the residence and two acres, lot two 20 acres, and lot three the remaining 30 acres.
