The natural stone facade enhances its character, blending seamlessly with the scenic landscape. Designed for comfort and efficiency, the home is heated via an oil-fired system and benefits from solar panels for hot water. Extensive renovations, including upgraded insulation, ensure excellent energy efficiency. This dwelling is in excellent condition throughout. Planning permission to extend was granted by Kerry County Council in 2001 (Planning Ref: 014). The outbuildings consist of a renovated stone-built structure with slate roof.

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.
