21-acre West Cork farm for sale with stables and lunge ring
‘A superb package that will suit a particular kind of hobby farmer’ is the best way to describe the latest agricultural offering by Clonakilty-based auctioneer Henry O’Leary.
The farm in question is a modest-sized (21 acres) West Cork property, located approximately 7km south of the village of Drimoleague, in the townland of Driminidy North.
“This is really a dream hobby farm,” says Henry.
“It’s at the end of the road, it has a river, and it also has some forestry along its boundary giving it shelter.
“As a package, it’s something that’s really difficult to find.
“If you go there on a nice day, you’ll never want to leave.”
The dwelling is a traditional two-storey farmhouse that comes with a collection of outbuildings around a yard.
Accommodation includes an entrance hall, kitchen-dining room, sitting room, living room, bathroom and store room on the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are a second bathroom and four bedrooms.
The collection of farm buildings includes a hay shed, machinery shed, loose cattle shed and stables.
There is also a lunge ring, suitable for anyone looking to set up an equestrian-based project.
The land consists of good grassland of mainly older pasture.
All the buildings are in good condition.
“The house is old-fashioned, one might say, but it appears to be very solid,” says Henry. “The roof was re-done and the windows have been replaced with double-glazed windows.”
The charming river frontage (onto the Saivnose River) is, according to Henry, what makes this property so special: “It just gives it that little bit of an edge on perhaps a similar-sized property.”
The asking price for this hobby farmer’s dream? €275,000 (€13,000/acre).
