Property: Mealagh rural idyll

The Mealagh Valley is a hidden gem of beauty in West Cork in an area popular with tourists.

It’s also has a vibrant social and agricultural community; progressive farmers of every ilk and nationality work together with their young families in a model of rural enterprise.

A 61.5-acre farm in the townland of Gortnacowly is for sale via Harrington Estates, in Bantry. Agent Denis Harrington says the non-residential farm consists of “good grazing land” in the main.
