Nestled in a peaceful plain just behind Monte Gabriel lies an idyllic, off-grid smallholding. This property spans one and a half acres, offering a tranquil retreat away from the bustle of modern life. The location provides a harmonious setting, perfect for those seeking simplicity and a closer connection to nature. The property has not been lived in for over 2 years and may qualify for the empty homes grant which is currently €50,000. Visitors to the area are frequently greeted by the presence of deer and hare. These animals roam freely, adding to the peaceful atmosphere. Above, birds of prey swoop gracefully across the skies, their movements contributing to the sense of natural beauty and serenity that defines the setting. Water for the property is provided through a water collection system, ensuring a reliable and sustainable source for daily needs. This system supports the off-grid lifestyle by utilising natural resources and reducing dependency on external utilities. Residents who are considering enhancing their water supply have the option of installing a deep bore well, provided they meet the necessary criteria. This upgrade offers a more robust and reliable water source, further supporting the off-grid lifestyle. To make these water improvements more feasible, financial assistance is available in the form of a grant and those meeting the criteria. The grant can cover up to eighty- five percent of the installation cost, significantly reducing the financial burden and making such upgrades more accessible and affordable for those living on the property. Interested individuals are encouraged to apply for the grant to take advantage of this support. Electricity on the property is currently provided by a generator. However, it has not been used in the past two years, reflecting a commitment to minimising reliance on conventional power sources and embracing an off-grid lifestyle.

This unique location allows for a peaceful, off-grid lifestyle without sacrificing proximity to community resources and services.
