233-acre farm with lake view for sale on the Iveragh Peninsula
This house provides some splendid scenery for its next owner.
Located 15km northeast of the seaside village of Waterville overlooking Derriana Lake, a 233-acre farm on Kerry’s Iveragh Peninsula will provide plenty of rough grazing, a good quality home and some splendid scenery for its next owner.
The property is for sale jointly with Waterville auctioneer Pauline Sugrue and Cork-based agents The Brady Group.
“Of the 233 acres, there are 87 acres which are freehold,” said Ms Sugrue. “And the remaining 145 acres are commonage.”
The property has a strong overall value by virtue of its refurbished two-storey farmhouse, which is a good-quality dwelling in a superb location – nestled in the mountains with views south over Derriana Lake. The house is available on its own with an acre (or a few more, if a purchaser was interested).
“The land is composed mainly of mountain and hilly ground,” said Ms Sugrue, “with a bit of flat ground too... it’s of mixed quality. It would be ideal for sheep farming.
“The dwelling has been renovated by its current owners.
“It can do with a little bit more finishing but it’s basically in good habitable condition and, of course, the views are really stunning and it’s a very peaceful spot.”
The property has a reliable water supply, as well as electricity and septic tank sewage.
The guide price on the entire holding is in the region of €475,000, with the house and one acre taking up almost half of that value at €225,000. The remaining 222 acres are guided in the region of €250,000.
Given the various qualities on sale here, one would certainly expect the house to be sold separately.
The price of such a rare asset in this part of the world is not easy to pin down – ultimately, the market will determine it. The land represents a good opportunity to purchase over 200 acres and, in a market in need of such acreage, there should be no short of purchasers.
