Presented by Beara Estate Agents, this south-facing four-bedroom traditional farmhouse is ideally located just 10 minutes from Dursey Island, Ballydonegan Beach, and Allihies Village.

This farmhouse in Lehanmore, Garnish is a classic example of a West Cork traditional home, offering a south-facing orientation and sea views that are highly sought after in the Beara Peninsula.

Below is a summary of the property details and the potential financial incentives available for its modernization.

Property Overview

Site Size: Approximately 0.13 hectares.

Location: Ideally situated within 10 minutes of Dursey Island, Ballydonegan Beach, and Allihies Village.

Internal Layout: A generous four-bedroom footprint across two floors, featuring high ceilings on the first floor and an open fire in the living room.

Key Utilities: The property currently has a septic tank and oil-fired central heating, though a bored well is required.

Current Status: The farmhouse is in need of modernization, providing a blank canvas for a renovation project.

Renovation & Grant Potential
Similar to other derelict or vacant projects in the area, this property may qualify for significant government funding to assist with the refurbishment:

Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant: If the property has been vacant for two years or more, you may be eligible for a grant of up to 50,000 for refurbishment.

SEAI Energy Grants: You can further improve the property’s efficiency by “stacking” SEAI grants for attic insulation, wall insulation, and heat pump installation.

Important Considerations

Parking: The listing notes that no parking is currently available. Given the site size of 0.13 hectares, a priority for any renovation plan would likely involve creating an entrance and parking area

Water Supply: The requirement for a bored well is a standard part of rural West Cork renovations and should be factored into your initial budget.
