SALE OF PERIOD STYLE FARMHOUSE ON C. 49 ACRES PLUS COMMONAGE SHARES AT FILANE WEST, CASTLETOWNBERE, WEST CORK.

Situated on the most private and scenic coastal estate this visually stunning compact landholding is packed with beauty and historical activity and only a short distance to the busy town of Castletownbere (4km), ferry depot to Bere Island and the Golf Course(1.5km)! Accessed via a private country laneway which adjoins the public road, the elevated residence has commanding views and unique privacy. In Fact the nature of the layout of the c. 49 acre farm provides for great potential as there are a number of stone built outbuildings that are in good robust condition and have weather proof roofs.

The three bed residence enjoys public water connection (private may also be reconnected) plus private sewage treatment. Internally the residence has been very well maintained with an emphasis on bright airy rooms enjoying good ceiling height and where possible east and west facing windows in addition to the south facing front of house. Dating back to the 1890's this enchanting home has clear potential to further extend.

The lands enjoy good road frontage, private internal access and are currently being grazed and well maintained. The ground is naturally free draining as it runs from the northern upland to the southern boundary and is a mixture of good grazing paddocks and fields, more ground in need of reclaiming and some open rocky seasonal grazing. There are shares of commonage within Ballard Commons and we are currently awaiting confirmation.

Throughout the estate there are glorious views across the coastline, Castletownbere Harbour and Bantry Bay. The mixture of lands and stone buildings suggest that there is exciting potential for an international retreat or holistic centre, or various forms of agri tourism. At a point in time where a premium is being placed on climate and welfare then we propose this estate at Filane West to be a glorious opportunity on the Beara Peninsula.
