Dromcarban, Headford, Killarney, V93 RY20

Set amidst the unspoilt beauty of the Kerry countryside, this detached traditional stone farmhouse extends to approximately 1,348ft² and sits on a site of approximately 0.52 acres with far-reaching rural views in every direction. The setting is undeniably picturesque, offering peace and a genuine connection to the surrounding landscape.

It is important, however, that prospective purchasers fully understand the scale of the opportunity on offer.

The property has been derelict for in excess of 15 years and requires complete renovation and restoration works before it could be considered habitable. This is not a cosmetic refurbishment or a project that can be completed over a few weekends. Significant investment of time, expertise and resources will be required to transform the property into a modern home.

A block-built two-storey extension has been added to the rear of the original farmhouse, however the timber first floor remains to be completed. A block-built single-storey foyer has also been constructed to the front.

For the right buyer, this represents an opportunity to restore and reimagine a traditional countryside home in a truly special location. The property may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant of up to €70,000 together with a range of SEAI energy upgrade grants, subject to meeting the relevant eligibility criteria and application requirements.

While enjoying a wonderfully secluded setting, the property remains accessible to local amenities. Glenflesk is two minutes away, Barraduff six minutes away, and Killarney town can be reached in approximately 17 minutes. The main Killarney to Cork road is also within easy reach, making travel and commuting straightforward.

This property will appeal to purchasers seeking a substantial restoration project and who are prepared for the commitment required to bring a long-derelict building back to life.
