Clonakilty-based auctioneer, Henry O’Leary has a 30-acre residential property in the Barryroe area that would suit anyone willing to live on the edge. Situated on the western side of the Seven Heads Peninsula, this property is set in a spectacular location as it straddles the headland that separates Dunworley Bay from Foilareal Bay.

Despite it’s coastal location, the farm is within a short drive of nearby towns and is under an hour-drive from Cork airport.

Located in a spectacular setting, the old farmhouse is modest and in need of complete renovation, however it offers a lot of potential. Despite its coastal location, the house is neatly tucked into one of the most sheltered spots on the farm, hidden from the prevailing south westerly winds. The house and yard are in a basin-like setting with higher ground providing shelter and privacy on three sides, the fourth side opens onto Foilareal Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Henry O'Leary auctioneer is bringing this headland property at Dunworley, Bandon to the market.

Location

Access off the public road is via a laneway that sweeps around the property. The entire farm is currently laid out in permanent pasture and is being offered for sale all together or in two lots. The house can be acquired on a smaller block of 20 acres. Out of view from the house, the remaining 10 acres consist of land that is easily worked and it also has excellent public road frontage.

This property is within walking distance of Dunworley beach while the villages of Lislevane and Timoleague are within a short drive. It is roughly 14km from Clonakilty, 23km from Bandon and less than an hour from Cork airport.

It is likely to attract interest from those looking for a hobby farm in a secluded spot or given its location within the dairy farming heartland of Barryroe it is just as likely to appeal to a farmer looking to extend their holding. The property is guided at €450,000.
