Cork International Airport and Ringaskiddy Port of Cork are within 33 minutes and 37 minutes drive time respectively, again via the adjacent M8 motorway and South Ring Road. This is a tranquil, agricultural setting with high quality tillage lands to all sides which offer an ever-changing vista through all four seasons.

(24.51 acres) of arable land, detached two storey family home, detached garage with home gym, stone built coach house dating from 1709, large modern warehouse with weigh-bridge, stable block with eight loose boxes, traditional hay-barn and enclosed concrete surfaced yard.
The main house is approached via a beautifully maintained sweeping tree lined driveway. The house is of concrete block construction with smooth plaster elevations which are now, for the most part, ivy clad. The roof is formed in pitched and lean-to sections which are all weathered in slate. The driveway continues around the perimeter of the house and there is a south & west facing raised patio to the rear. Both the patio and conservatory look directly across to a preserved stone wall which dates from the 1800’s as recorded in National Art Buildings of Ireland. Fully landscaped gardens complete with stud railing adorn the front, side and rear of the house.
The superb location of this property, coupled with the array of outbuildings on offer serve to provide an abundance of potential and opportunity to the likes of hobby farmers, home business enterprises or indeed enthusiasts of all equestrian pursuits.
