Social distancing? Not a problem on your own 123-acre West Cork island 

Stand by to repel boarders - and viruses - at €1m-plus Wild Atlantic Way island idyll with castle ruins

Castle Island in West Cork's Roaringwater Bay has 123 acres of land, small shingle beaches, a C14th O'Mahony castle ruin, along with the remains of 15 small stone cabins. It's for sale for €1m-plus for UK vendors, via joint agents Dominic Daly and Knight Frank.

The offer of ‘total solitude’, and in stressful Covid-19 times also the chance for real social distancing along the Wild Atlantic Way, comes with the arrival of West Cork’s Castle Island to the international property market.

Set at the mouth of Schull Harbour, in Roaringwater Bay, the stunningly-sited 123-acre island was last inhabited back in the 1870s.
