Scenic setting for 460 acres of farmland
Or, for the short of pocket, as a farm of this size will require a million or two of spending money.
Set in one of the most beautiful and still unspoilt areas of West Cork, (hippie-central, the cynical would say), it’s a rare sale because of the amount of acreage available — even if one-third is mountain, and the other third bog. There is at least one-third of sheep grazing left over, according to James Crowley of Keane Mahony Smith, and that’s good pasture land, he says.
The sale includes an old farmhouse, in need of upgrading, some farm buildings, an old hay shed, and a modern sheep shed. On the Gougane Road, the property is close enough to Bantry, while still being within an hour and a half’s commute to Cork city.
Panoramic and unspoilt views are your reward for shelling out the bones of two million for this farm, which could be the expected sale price, even though James Crowley is loath to name a guide price.
The rarity value alone should guarantee some interest — especially from reclusive millionaires.
