‘Exceptional’ land on 145-acre seaside farm for sale near Tralee, Co Kerry

“Cockle Beach” is the kind of name to conjure up images of large groups of women in shawls and hardy men in peaked caps, heavy linen shirts and dark waistcoats gathering shellfish along the seashore on a neap tide.

At least, that’s what it might mean for some people. This is the name of the sweep of coastline to which an unusual 145-acre residential holding near Tralee has direct access.

The property, in the townland of Barrow, 13km west of Tralee and 7km from Ardfert, is highly unusual in that it is a sizeable farm that has two separate owners and no fewer than seven separate lots (apart from the entire holding).
