An Clachan entices interest of city buyers

YOU just start to feel extra good about yourself when you head out the peninsula: that’s what estate agent Elaine O’Donovan says of the Kilcrohane/Ahakista/Sheep’s Head run where the sea becomes your constant companion along the west Cork roadway.

Though based in Clonakilty she extols the more rugged beauty of points further west too, and says buyers have equally fallen for homes she is selling at An Clachan, Kilcrohane.

City buyers mostly have been to the fore in this scheme of houses overlooking Dunmanus Bay, built by Batty Hayes of Forrestbrook Construction. His house offerings are big, at 1,300 sq ft, and prices start at €295,000 with a detached at €340,000.
