Picture perfect hideaway

AN ARTIST’S pad in a picture-perfect setting is on offer at Cooldurragah, near Castlehaven harbour in prettiest west Cork.

The restored and enhanced farmhouse got a brush with visual flair, as it is a tasty looker inside and out, with painterly garden planting as a backdrop. Add in the fact that it is on eight acres, elevated and with water views, and the package is a bit of a scene-stealer for those looking for a quality hideaway – and who have around €600,000 to spend.

The Union Hall area home has views down to tidal Rineen creek, and the upper reaches of Castlehaven harbour, and the L-shaped extended house has a sun-room added on a gable to catch the water and westerly colourful garden views.
