Wooded 70-acre waterside site at Castletownshend guides at €300,000

THERE are precious things in the world for which the mere act of acquisition is enough — the beauty for beauty’s sake of jewels and paintings, though not of practical use.

In the same vein, but more down to earth, there is a 70-acre parcel of land at Castletownshend, near Skibbereen in west Cork— a wooded, waterside site, very beautiful, in a very beautiful place, but probably quite useless.

The land has no agricultural value, and even less site value and acquisition here is likely to be on the basis of owning a precious piece of waterside ground.
