€6,300/acre for 15ac holding on Dursey Island

The 15-acre plot on Dursey Island for sale.

For those who dream of getting away from it all, for dabbling in what one might term ‘offshore investment’ or for simply indulging in a bit of hobby farming in an unusual location, a 15-acre holding that’s new to the market in West Cork might be just what you’re looking for.

The holding is at Kilmichael on Dursey Island at the end of the Beara Peninsula. This island is most famously known as having the only cable-car service in the country.

For sale with Sherry Fitzgerald O’Neill, who have offices in Clonakilty, Skibbereen, and Bantry, the property is described by the selling agent Olivia Hanafin as being “ideal for a small farm enterprise”.

The land is laid out in two separate plots, very close to one another. One of them has water frontage extending to the rocky shoreline, while the other has good access with a nice stretch of road frontage.

This unique coastal farm also includes a share of commonage within the townland of Kilmichael and the quality overall is typical of the island’s rough-grazing nature.

With a price guide of €95,000 (€6,300/acre), there’s certainly value for money offshore.
