Property Overview:
For Sale by Private Treaty



Property Description:
Welcome to the Shepherd's Cottage, a priceless gem of Ireland's ancient heritage that sits deep in the heart of a horseshoe of mountains and at the foothill of one of Ireland's highest peaks, Mullach an Aitinn (Summit of the Gorse). Known simply to the locals as "The Pocket".
Situated at the end of a completely private cul-de-sac, there are no over-looking houses, and no passing cars. This, thankfully, is how it will always remain untarnished by time and untouched by the outside world. With mountains on three sides and a river running along the fourth, the cottage and its three-acre site are an island of peace and tranquillity. The silence to be found here is calming to the soul.

The cottage is a faithful reconstruction of a shepherd's cottage which had been in The Pocket for over a hundred years. The original cottage had looked so natural sitting amidst the mountains, as if it had always been there. This was a dwelling that was truly at home; as much a part of this ancient place as the mountains and river themselves.

The Shepherd's Cottage remains accessible with breath-taking drives in every direction. Just 20 minutes away is the delightful town of Sneem, 30 minutes drive would bring you to the lovely town of Kenmare or a 45 minute drive through the mountains and national parks would take you to the famously beautiful town of Killarney. Sandy beaches are nearby as are renowned lakes, rivers and waterfalls.
