Property Description

Available in any combination of 3 suggested lots, 42 acre farm with full planning permission to convert and extend the existing stone building into an eye catching 4 bedroom family home. Lot 1 – 7.5 acres. Lot 2 – planning permission on 8.3 acres. Lot 3 – 26.2 acres.

Set in the heart of West Cork’s rolling countryside, this 42-acre farm offers a rare opportunity to embrace a peaceful rural lifestyle. Available in any combination of three thoughtfully suggested lots.

The land is of good quality, currently laid out in permanent pasture, with a relatively level terrain that is easy to manage. It benefits from generous road frontage along its western boundary, ensuring convenient access. A charming stream meanders through Lot 1 and Lot 3, adding a touch of magic to the landscape and providing natural beauty as well as practical benefit.

At the heart of the farm lies a traditional stone building, which now holds full planning permission for conversion and extension into a striking four-bedroom family home. The approved plans allow for a spacious residence of approximately 2,200 square feet, and notably, there are no local housing need restrictions attached. This opens the door to a wide range of potential buyers — from those dreaming of a forever family home in the countryside to others seeking a weekend retreat or equestrian haven. While the permission itself relates to one acre, we are offering this with a generous 8.3-acre parcel, making Lot 2 a particularly attractive prospect.

Lot 1 comprises 7.5 acres of lush pasture, set across the road from the main farmyard. It stands as a lovely standalone parcel — ideal for a local farmer, a nature enthusiast, or someone simply seeking a bit more than a back garden. Combine it with Lot 2 for a more expansive holding, perfect for grander ambitions.

Lot 3 is the largest, extending to 26.2 acres. It is substantial enough to merit travel if you are not an adjoining landowner, yet remains a manageable and affordable size for a range of agricultural or leisure purposes.

Located just 4km from Skibbereen, 14km from Ballydehob, and around 80km from Cork city and airport, this is a rare chance to own a slice of rural West Cork with flexible options to suit your lifestyle, dreams and ambitions. Whether you’re seeking a place to build a home, expand a farming enterprise or simply reconnect with nature, this farm holds the promise of something truly special.
