The traditional farmhouse is available on 2.3 acres, with an option for more land, other options are an extra 7.7 acres or with the entire 34 acres which includes 21 acres of forestry.
Tucked away in one of the most peaceful and picturesque corners of West Cork, this enchanting coastal holding extends to approx. 34 acres of unspoilt countryside. It offers a rare chance to own a timeless Irish farmhouse surrounded by rolling pastures, whispering trees, and heather-scented hills. Available in three clearly defined lots, it caters equally to those seeking a quiet retreat, a hobby farm, or a long-term lifestyle investment.
At its heart stands a traditional four-bedroom farmhouse, full of warmth and character. With its whitewashed stone walls, slate roof and sheltered garden, the house feels as though it has grown from the land itself. Set on Lot 1 (circa 2.3 acres), this handsome home has been carefully maintained and sensitively updated. A more recent two-storey rear extension blends seamlessly with the original structure, and the interiors, recently redecorated, are in excellent condition throughout. Double-glazed windows, a solid roof, and a sunlit southerly aspect provide comfort and peace of mind. Downstairs, there are two welcoming reception rooms and a large kitchen-dining area perfect for gathering around the table. Upstairs, four restful bedrooms offer tranquil views over the surrounding countryside.
Around the house, a cluster of traditional stone outbuildings adds further charm and potential. A lofted barn and several low stone stores whisper of the property's working past, while a three-bay hay shed and a sturdy workshop/storage shed bring practical value to the holding. This is a place where old stories linger in the walls, yet there is ample space to begin a new chapter.
The land is gently sloping, easily managed, and well suited to both livestock and leisure. Laid out in small fields, all currently in grass, it is ideal for horses, small-scale farming or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. Lot 3, comprising 21 acres of mature forestry planted around 18 years ago and 3 acres of roadside grassland, offers both a hands-off investment and a haven for wildlife. The woodland provides year-round shelter, privacy, and a sense of serenity rarely found in modern life.
From the higher ground, the Atlantic glimmers on the horizon, just 2km away, with a network of nearby beaches and secret coves offering endless possibilities for sea swims, evening walks, and exploration. The property is embraced by heathered hills and winding country lanes that invite slow, mindful living.
Despite its seclusion, the property is far from isolated. Schull, a lively and artistic harbour village, is only 5km away, while Goleen lies 10km to the west. The market towns of Bantry and Skibbereen are both just 28km away, and Cork Airport is just one and a half hours away, with Kerry Airport under two hours, making this property a unique blend of tranquillity and accessibility.
This is more than a home, it is a place to breathe deeply, slow down, and rediscover life’s quieter pleasures. A rare blend of charm, heritage, and natural beauty, this West Cork gem is ready and waiting.
Services: Private well, septic tank and high speed broadband is available.
