Located at Dundeady, Castlefreke, in the same town land as the Galley Head lighthouse, this circa 27.25-acre property enjoys expansive views over Dunowen Head to the east and is within a 10-minute walk of the Long Strand to the west. The ground itself is for the most part excellent quality and has been in either grass or tillage for the last number of years. It reaches the coastline at Dirk Bay on the southern end and overlooks the Red Strand beach.

There is a two-storey detached house positioned in the centre of the holding. It has been empty for a number of years and it is well sealed externally but the house is in need of some internal work. The four-bedroom dwelling has scope for an extension and is offered as a separate lot including 1.3 acres. The property is fully serviced with water, electricity and a septic tank.

Across the road from the residence, there is a derelict farmhouse and outbuildings including a hay barn. These may be beneficial in an area where planning permission can be difficult to achieve. The old yard offers development potential in the future subject to the relevant planning. This is a fantastic coastal property, containing excellent land with almost all fields having access to the road on the Wild Atlantic Way. Located close to Fishers Cross and Ardfield village, this coastal gem is within a 10-minute drive of Rosscarbery and 15 minutes of Clonakilty.

The house with 1.3 acres is guided at €250,000 while the guide for the land is €12,000/ac.

Twenty-two acres in Rathbarry

Four kilometres west of the residential property, Daniel Lehane has another offering in the form of a circa 22-acre farm. Situated near the picturesque village of Rathbarry, this is excellent-quality land and is located in one convenient block with little waste. Approximately half the farm is in permanent pasture while the balance has been in crops for a number of years. The land has good road frontage and can also be accessed at the southern boundary.

Suitable for multiple uses there are no services present on the land but mains water and electricity connection are available nearby.

Given that the property backs onto Rathbarry, a village that is an annual contender in the Tidy Town awards, future development cannot be ruled out in a highly sought-after residential address in the Clonakilty area. Lehane has a guide of €12,000/ac on this sale.

Land sales have been like hens’ teeth in this area, so both will be watched carefully and have created plenty interest.
