Suckler farmers might fall in love with this price

IN the heart of what could be termed “alternative lifestyle country”, a farm at Gurteen, Dunmanway is on the high ground between Dunmanway and Inchigeela.

Suckler farmers might fall in love with this price

This 70-acre holding is on the market with a guide price of €500,000, a small sum in comparison to galloping land prices elsewhere — which is why those with non-mainstream lifestyle ideas are drawn to areas like this: they are priced out of the market everywhere else.

A previous influx of alternative lifestylers into West Cork in the 1970s may have been responsible for current ultra-high coastal prices and perhaps this will happen in Dunmanway too.
