42 acres in one block including an old ruin and 16 acres of forestry, it is tranquil and private with spectacular views and a private entrance.

This well-balanced 42-acre holding at Inchincurka, Dunmanway, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial block of land in a peaceful and scenic setting. The property enjoys a private entrance from the public road and is laid out in a single block, with a gentle south-facing slope that provides excellent natural light and panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.

Approximately 16 acres of the farm are under mature forestry, located mainly on the northern and eastern edges of the holding. These woodlands offer natural shelter, support biodiversity, and hold potential for future timber yield or environmental benefit. The remaining land is made up of productive pasture, sheltered grazing ground and some rougher areas, all of which could be further improved or maintained as-is depending on the buyer’s needs.

The land is naturally divided into useful sections. To the west, a six-acre field with good-quality pasture is ideal for grazing or silage and benefits from strong sunlight and wide valley views. The central section features sheltered fields interspersed with some rougher ground that could easily be reclaimed for more productive use. Overall, the land is versatile and would suit both active farming and low-impact rural enterprises.

Near the centre of the holding sits a traditional stone-built ruin, which adds character to the property and may offer future restoration potential, subject to planning permission. It occupies an elevated position, with the forestry offering shelter behind and the open land stretching out to the front. It is a particularly attractive spot with exceptional views.

While the land lends itself well to conventional agriculture, its quiet setting and natural layout may also appeal to those seeking a more recreational use — such as nature walks, small-scale tourism, or countryside retreats (subject to the appropriate planning consents). It offers privacy, calm, and space — without sacrificing access. Dunmanway is only 8 km away, with Macroom, Clonakilty, Bantry and Bandon all within a 30–35 km radius, and Cork city and airport just 55 km away.

Whether for farming, forestry, amenity use or as a long-term investment, this is a well-located and attractive piece of land with strong potential in a sought-after part of West Cork.
