Surrounding the residence are several outbuildings which would benefit from investment to bring them up to modern farming standards.

Currently under maize cereal and pasture, 78ac of the land is productive. A further 12ac on the western side of the parcel is low-lying and suited to summer grazing. The land has decent road frontage, and a laneway off a secondary road provides independent access to the dwelling.

The farm benefits from extensive shore frontage.

A defining feature of the farm is its extensive shore frontage along the southern boundary. Included within the folio is a small private beach with scope to improve shoreline access by adding steps and a handrail.

While the holding is underpinned by the quality and scale of the land, the shoreline ownership broadens its appeal, and there has been strong local and international interest from farmers, investors and lifestyle buyers.

A private beach is included in the folio for the farm, which is 8km from Clonakilty, Co Cork.

Located 8km from the large market town of Clonakilty, Co Cork, Brownstown House is within close driving distance of all key amenities and services, as well as a wide range of leisure and recreational facilities.

Guided in the region of €1.25m to €1.5m, the property is for sale in one lot, though the vendor is also open to selling the land and house separately, pending enquiry.
