You’ll get more for less in unique home that’s ideal for seafarers

YOU’LL get more for less now at Poulnacallee, on the way to Turk Head from Skibbereen in west Cork, across the bay from Baltimore. This modern build, which doffs its cap to traditional materials, first hit the market in late spring 2008, optimistically in search of a buyer for €1.5 million, and was then offered on an acre of land, with a guest cottage.

Now, after market contractions, this price has been reduced to offers sought ‘in excess of €800,000’ with Charles P McCarthy of Skibbereen.

And instead of the single acre it was first put up for sale on, it now has two acres included in the sale, as well as a 20m strip of foreshore – so there’s very much a case of more property, for way less money.
