Modern take on farmhouse

NOTHING left to do....and that’s part of the reason the owners of this west Cork retreat are on the move — there’s no challenge there anymore.

This modern take on the traditional two-storey farmhouse is at Kilmacabea, up on a height half a mile or so from the outskirts of Leap, between Skibbereen and Clonakilty, just over an hour from Cork city, airport and car ferries.

It has been built by a couple from the UK, who built anew on the site of an older dwelling a few years ago, calling it The Farmhouse — though the ‘farm;’ is just an acre and a half.
