Farmhouse is minutes from safe strand

IF Clonakilty bills itself as the beach capital of west Cork, this Donour farmhouse is close to the centre of the action.

Just up from the wild stretch of Long Strand and its protected dunes, it also is within a couple of minutes’ drive of the super-safe bathing beach Red Strand, where a beach-side 18-month-old new build has sold for around €900,000.

Other beaches nearby include Sand’s Cove, Dunny Cove, Inchydoney and Owenahincha.
