Drishane Point is a great double act

GET the point? It might cost you a bit, but West Cork’s €1.5m Drishane Point is a sort of place apart, while also anchored to a Special Area of Conservation, near famed marine lake Lough Hyne.

Newly up for sale for its owner of the past quarter-century is this scenically set headland of 30 acres, 8km from Skibbereen town, complete with two houses, one little, one large and luxurious.

Described by estate agent Maeve McCarthy of Charles P McCarthy in Skibb town as a privately owned headland in a spectacular location, Drishane Point carries a price tag which pitches it towards the upper end of the scale, even in coastal West Cork.
