13 acres and well finished house for West Cork lifestyle

THE townland name is enough to raise a schoolboy titter, but the quality of the property for sale at Cahermuckee, Kealkil, West Cork should draw nothing but admiration.

Close to Glengarriff and with splendid views, this is a lifestyle buy of 13 acres of pasture and a superbly finished house.

On the market with Carmel O’Regan of SWS Bantry, the package is guide priced at €520,000 — very good value by Glengarriff standards. It’s a turnkey job, save for the fact that a new owner might want to build some sheds or stables for horses or cattle.

As a hobby farm the property is ideal, says Carmel O’Regan, as the land has been recently reclaimed and reseeded, and it’s in one block around the house. A gently sloping farm, an addition to its bucolic bounty is a river running along the northern boundary.

Views are magnificent, according to Ms O’Regan. The top-notch, architect-designed house merges a traditional look with a fresh, contemporary approach.

There’s a fab cream and granite kitchen with a big island, and the centre of operations is a Stanley range. With dimensions of 25’ by 15’ this a great family room, and it connects to the attached conservatory through double doors. Finished with vaulted ceilings, it gets sun all day and is the perfect place to take in the views. The lounge has a Victorian fireplace and bay window to the front: it’s not small, at 24’ by 14’.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, two miles from Kealkil village, the house isn’t much more than an hour from Cork city.
