Be a country gent for €250,000

YOU wouldn’t have had the chance to buy/afford a package like this in the past decade or so, says the selling agent of this west Cork country-home package, on five acres of land, north of Clonakilty.

Newly for sale is this traditional-style, two-storey, four-bed farmhouse, at Caherkirky, near Rossmore — home of the annual Rossmore drama festival.

The drama of affording a prospect like this has reached a wider audience — a ‘cheaper seats’ asking price of €250,000 is affixed to this chance to buy into the country lifestyle, in a location that sounds like a translation from the Irish for Cork city, Cathair Chorcai.
