A chance to join the jet set on west Cork’s gold coast

LAST year, a 40-acre coastal farm in the townland of Whitehall in west Cork was withdrawn, leaving potential buyers from all over the world disappointed.

Nearly a year later, in a nearby location, again listed with estate agent John Hodnett of SWS Property Services, another sale is imminent, at Whitehall, Church Cross, Skibbereen.

This 35-acre residential farm is close to the ferry point for Heir Island. While last year’s Whitehall farm was guide priced at €1.1 million, this property has been upped to €1.7m.
