West Cork property is sure to float your boat with a vastly reduced price

THIS coastal, stone home at West Cork’s Poulnacallee has been on the market before, but now has a vastly reduced price, another change of agent as well as more land, to woo those in pursuit of a country life and boating on the doorstep.

Done over a period of time by a couple into design, furniture-making and boats, the property’s near Church Cross, Skibbereen, off a long approach lane, about a 15 minute boat trip to the sailing nirvana of Baltimore.

Floated for sale with Micheal Duggan of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, who now guides at €425,000, there’s a main four-bed residence with its kitchen and living quarters upstairs, with feature stove, and it opens to a very large section of raised decking with a nautical touch, and tempting water views. Then, there’s a separate but adjacent two-bed guest cottage of about 950 sq ft more, so lots of accommodation and options in the twain, with sunny courtyard in between.
