Lucy's Farmhouse, Gloun, Schull, Dunmanus, Co. Cork, P81XK24
Unique Countryside Property with Two Residences, Expansive Grounds & Exceptional Gardens – Near Schull, West Cork
Set across approximately 16 acres of breathtaking countryside, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a secluded rural haven just minutes from the vibrant village of Schull and the beautiful shoreline of West Cork.
At the heart of the property lies a charming traditional farmhouse positioned on circa 5.5 acres. Accessed via a private track from the main road, the home enjoys total privacy, surrounded by unspoiled nature and is bordered by streams on three sides. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a series of characterful stone outbuildings offering excellent potential for conversion or redevelopment.
The natural beauty of this holding is exceptional. There is a pond with waterfalls beneath a rocky cliff. Nearby a spring-fed lake flows over rock into a lower pond, home to small brown trout, adding to its ecological charm.
A short distance across the land lies The Lodge, a second traditional farmhouse set on approx. 10.5 acres. Though requiring complete renovation, it has the potential to be a guesthouse, a creative studio, or secondary residence.
One of the most remarkable features of this property is the southern hemisphere-style garden, extending across approximately three acres, nestled in a sheltered, sunken position along a stream. The garden benefits from a rare microclimate and deep black soil, fostering an exceptional range of unusual and mature planting and dominated by different species of Eucalyptus and Mimosa.
