Estuary farm nestling in idyllic location

In all likelihood, this 88-acre holding listed with Lisney Auctioneers was of most interest to its previous owners for its exquisite location snaking alongside the estuary of the River Blackwater.

It's overlooking the tidal stretch of one of Munster’s premium waterways as it enters the sea near Youghal.

This property – located on the Waterford (left) bank – is a good deal more than just a pretty face, however.
