Leeside home comes with tight planning

THIS 30 acre, or so, site at Currabeg, Ovens created a bit of stir when it went to auction in 2000.

A packed room ensured high bidding for the then auctioneer, Henry O’Leary and the site was knocked down for £360,000 - a phenomenal result at the time.

And why? Because the land laps on to the Lee above the Inniscarra dam, has sumptuous views and is private and rural while still being accessible to the city. In fact, with the new Ballincollig bypass, this property will have even faster access by next year to Cork.
