Mountain holding has no road access

A HELICOPTER, or failing that, a boat, are essentials for farming a 127 acre piece of mountainy land at Waterville, Co Kerry.

East of Lake Currane, this rough grazing land has no road access and woollen-coated animals would have to be ferried across the lake, giving a whole new meaning to transhumance agriculture.

For wannabee Thoreaus, this could make the ideal retreat, and the agents can throw in three lake-islands, though hardly habitable, at three-quarters of an acre in total.
