Pretty home on 20 acres
The 20-acre homestead packs a punch in the form of top quality stabling for 26 horses, the best of Bandon land and not one, but two dwelling houses.
The main property is a simple, symmetrical farmhouse set a little back from the road, with paddock fencing and wooden farm gates at the approach.
It’s a well maintained equestrian holding with lots of room for an extended family and enough space for a clutch of kids.
The property is on the market in one lot with Don Brennan of Sherry FitzGerald Brennan Busteed, and most of the interest so far has come from the equestrian quarter, he says, but if the market dictates, he’s prepared to sell the house and land separately.
Located at Old Park, Shanacloyne, Bandon, this property has very good quality pasture land, in one block with plenty of road frontage.
The property is only a short drive to Bandon and within commuting distance of Cork city. It has great amenities locally, and has west Cork on the doorstep.
The Old Park farm is a definite lifestyle buy, and the guide price of 470,000 is good value for two residences, quality stabling and a top quality grazing land.
The same property sold at the height of the boom for almost double the present asking price, and Don Brennan expects considerable interest in this private treaty sale.
The main residence will need an upgrade, he says, but offers plenty of room, with five bedrooms, a sitting room, lounge, kitchen-dining room, utility and main bathroom.
The second residence, which would be ideal for adult family members or staff, has a kitchen-dining room, a lounge, one en-suite bedroom and two other bedrooms, with bathroom.
The house is located close to the roadside in the south-eastern quarter of the land, in a attractive, south-facing location, says Don Brennan.
