The home is heated via an oil-fired system and also benefits from solar panels for hot water ensuring comfort and efficiency.

The outbuildings consist of a renovated stone-built structure with slate roof and there is also an open machinery/storage shed with galvanised roof. These are located adjacent to the dwelling and would serve a variety of uses. The house is served by a septic tank which is located on the site. This exceptional property offers a unique and rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained home in a serene and scenic countryside setting.

Folio KY10219 - Plan 9 extending to 7.20 Ha (17.79 acres): €365,000
The residence and outbuildings are located on this folio at the end of the cul de sac lane. The lands are situated to the rear of the dwelling and comprised of forestry and blanket bog. The farm has been cared for and extensively farmed in a balanced manner in the past, which resulted in past very good environmental scoring due to presence of positive covering of various flora and flowers. The farm should fit very well into any future extensive farming system with low inputs and low time management and would perfectly suit a part-time farmer with off-farm employment.

OPTIONAL: Folio KY10220 - Plan 8 extending to 13.67 Ha (33.78 acres): Guide price - €130,000
This land is situated at the entrance to the residential farm. The eastern boundary is defined by a mountain stream and the private access roadway is well maintained. There is a central roadway dividing this folio. The land bounding the access road to the west is in pasture and suitable for summer grazing.

Part of this area was planted in recent years. Please note that the attached map is for identification purposes only and cannot be relied upon for accurate measurement of the subject lands.

- Basic Income Support for Sustainability Scheme (BISS)
- Complimentary Redistributive Income Support for Sustainability (CRISS)
- Eco-Schemes: Support for contribution to EU environmental and climate goals
