Live the countryside dream in cutting-edge property

Why would you leave a house as good at this? It seems hard to have to give up your bespoke property for the sake of a career, but that’s what has happened here at Kilcolman Park, in Bandon, Co Cork.

And to paraphrase Ernest Forde of SWS Property Services, superlatives come quite easily when describing this property. Its eco-chic design and breath-of-spring interior make for a very seductive property indeed. Add in a lush parkland setting outside Bandon, utter privacy with good access and you have a combination that doesn’t arise very often.

Hence the price tag of €750,000 or so, which takes in the 1.3 acre site near the Bandon river and the exclusivity of the area.
