Lissarda Manor on three acres could be a lucky 13 for someone

“There’s huge value for money here,” says Sam Kingston of Casey and Kingston, appointed selling agent for the 10,000 sq ft, expensively-built Lissarda Manor guest house on the main Cork-Macroom/Killarney Road.

The auctioneer guides the 13-bedroom building on three landscaped acres at €850,000, and says that’s just a fraction of the build cost.

The complex, 20 miles west of Cork city at a spot known locally in Macroom as the Four Mile Bridge, has high visibility to the N22. It was completed in 2010, and has sought to attract short, medium and long-stay guests as well as running courses and sessions in alternative therapies, yoga etc. It gets trade from the tourism traffic along the Kerry route, as well as angling and Lee Valley amenities visitors, running short residential alternative medicine courses, and it has scope as a retirement/convalescent home.
