Trading Up: Dereenatra, Schull €565,000

THERE’S only been a handful of €500,000+ house sales in the chi-chi coastal Schull area of West Cork since the Price Register started picking up on sales, post 2010.

About eight properties show on the Register as having made excess €500k, and one of the bigger Schull vicinity sales was Cuileann Cottage, a waterfronting home by Dereenatra pier, which sold for a reported €712,000.

Now, also with a Dereenatra address, but slightly more inland and elevated, is this c 2,200 sq ft architect-designed home, close to coves at Dereenatra and Rossbrin and two miles from Schull itself.
