You can see the sea from this small holding between Skibbereen and Baltimore on 100 acres of land. The traditional farmhouse, which has four bedrooms, could do with an update. There’s a stone building beside it, along with other farm buildings. The farm buildings are of good quality and have the benefit of slurry storage. The residence is in very good condition, retaining many of its old characteristic features. This holding also has the benefit of an additional old-style residential dwelling upon the property. BER: TG
Plus: Age, pasture, grazing land, sea, and separate stone house that could be turned into holiday accommodation.
Minus: The farmhouse has quite low ceilings, the classic huddling-in against the Irish weather, and the décor could do with an update.
