Fine grazing land on offer at lower price

Back in the summer of 2005, at the height of the property madness, this farm at Whitehall, Lisheen, Skibbereen, Co Cork, came up for sale at €1.1m.

Despite the bidding and the amount of money offered, it never sold in the end, probably due to reluctance on the part of the owner, well-known local poet Willie O’Regan.

Now, however, the farm is a probate sale, and the proceeds of this divinely located property are going to charities. So what better time of year to relaunch the sale?
