Horse sense to check out superb equestrian holding

A RASH of good quality life/equestrian properties are hitting the market this month, while large farm sales are still few and far between.

Carmel O’Regan of SWS Property Services Bantry is selling a 14-acre holding at Baurgorm, Bantry for offers in the region of €575,000.

It’s hard to believe the peaceful valley where this property is tucked away was the centre of much controversy last year. A proposed overground power cable to Ballylickey from a privately- owned wind farm at nearby Ballybane galvanised local opposition, headed by farmer Joe Burke. It was supported by a number of groups, in particular the Bantry Concerned Action Group.
