Permission for modern home on 27 acres

THERE’S a touch of the landed gentry about this part of Lissarda, Co Cork — it’s an area with fine houses set on fine acres of land.

This month, Joe McCarthy, of Irish and European, is offering a 21st century variation on a theme. He has 27 acres on offer with full planning permission for an impressive residence.

It’s remarkable that open planning has been achieved in this location. But this is a modern residence, a cutting-edge design with flat-roof profile, large areas of glazing, a split-level layout, and a clean design from every perspective. The plans, by O’Mahony Pike Architects, are ready to go.
