Great views a bonus with west Cork holding

OWNING a rocky but beautiful chunk of west Cork is possible this month with the private treaty sale of a piece of hungry ground at Balteen near Goleen.

With 45 acres and an old stone ruin, the rough-grazing farm has breathtaking views, says Carmel O’Regan of SWS Property Services Bantry. These take in Dunmanus Bay to the Sheeps Head Peninsula and Beara beyond, she says.

The old ruin and some 12 acres of the holding are now sale agreed, which means there’s just 33 acres of the property left to sell.
