Ard Na Mara, Furkeal, Glengarriff, Bantry, Adrigole, Co. Cork, P75P897

I am an artist who has a strong connection with nature. I now intend to live closer to my daughter in the South of France, and that is the only reason for this sale. My property is a peaceful and well sheltered place in the Firkale woods near Glengarriff, not far away from the shoreline and surrounded by mature native woodland and its wildlife. It is ideal for a couple or a single person who seek a quiet, simple and creative life. In my house, I used natural and ecological materials wherever I could to create a warm and healthy atmosphere: clay mortar, lime mortar, linseed oil with natural pigments, clay paints... Due to the good insulation, the places are easy to heat with the wood stoves or little electric heaters if you prefer or need to do so. The house is sold with the main furniture, ready to live in. The big garden includes different areas: a vegetable garden with blackcurrant, raspberry, and gooseberry bushes, a little orchard, a polytunnel, a rocky outcrop that protects the house, a rear garden with an aromatic spiral... I am passionate about medicinal herbs, so you will find plenty of them everywhere. In the backyard, as well as alongside the house on the left hand side, I decided to let grow wild whatever the wind and the birds would offer. And it's amazing! It's a paradise for the birds, bees, butterflies, insects... and a treasure of medicinal herbs or edible wild plants like mullein, evening primrose, plantain, St John's wort, sorrel, nettles, yarrow, feverfew, self heal... Sometimes, a deer comes to rest under the big oak tree. It is quiet and wild enough for him there...
