Beach life on offer for hobby farmer

MILES of sandy beaches are at your disposal in the case of this Redbarn Strand land sale.

A new market offering, and butting right up against some new holiday home developments, is this beguiling east Cork property mix, which includes almost 22 acres of land with mature trees, a 25-year-old bungalow and an older, single-storey farmhouse with some outbuildings.

It is being offered for sale as one lot with the estate agent, who guides it at €800,000 — a price which reflects the worth most likely to appeal to a private buyer looking for a hobby farm and fine coastal house with easy beach access, rather than developers.
