Country retreat on acres of land

A LONG and low farmhouse, a century and more old, on a 95-acre farm with pond, level land, woodland walks and even an old lime kiln, is up for sale by public auction.

The Granard, Churchtown North property is in North Cork, near Buttevant, and holds out the option of country living on a productive farm. It is likely to attract interest from counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary.

It carries a €1 million price guide, and while the amount of land is the main attraction and value, the house is an attractive residence of character, but without period grandeur.
