Trading up: Burren, Kilbrittain, Cork - €450,000

THE theme song for the 1960s TV sitcom Green Acres had as its opening line “Green Acres is the place to be. Farm livin’ is the life for me. Land spreadin’ out so far and wide, Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.”

And, in the case of Green Acres, at Burren, Kilbrittain in Co Cork, you can add ‘coastline, spreadin’ out so far and wide,’ into the pitch also.

Listed for sale with estate agent Killian Lynch, this Green Acres is a five-bed dormer home, on two acres amid farm livin’ neighbours, hugging the shoreline of Courtmacsherry Bay.
