Big interest in cottage with stunning views above beautiful secluded cove

WHAT price humility? Billed as “a humble cottage on one of the most sensational one-acre sites in West Cork, with breathtaking views in all directions,” this two-up, two-down cottage has a seemingly immodest €350,000-plus asking price.

Yet, it will make that and more. Thanks to its setting, above Simon’s Cove near Clonakilty in West Cork, this executor sale is a banker.

Simon’s Cove is one of the region’s lesser known coves, with shingly sand in a cut-out in the indented rocks while, just to the west, flat beds of rock stretch out just above sea level for hundreds of yards, with some indentations for braver kids to go rock jumping from.
