Take a break from reality in this storybook cottage with its own lake - yours for €340k
The sale also includes five acres and a log cabin.
LOCATED ON FIVE acres of lush greenery and woodland, including three private ponds and a lake, this farmhouse in Macroom, Co Cork could be straight out of a fairy tale.
On the market for €340,000, the property boasts a number of unique features – including a tree planted in the hallway of the farmhouse.
As well as the farmhouse, the sale includes a log cabin by the lake, a 50ft x 50ft barn, plus four temporary bedrooms which have been built on site. Two stone cottage ruins add even more character to the grounds, which feature beautiful walks through its five acres.
Stepping inside the farmhouse, the hallway is light-filled thanks to roof windows, while the aforementioned indoor tree reaches towards the wood-panelled ceiling. To the left, a wood-burning stove adds a cosy feel.
Throughout the property, there are multiple medieval features, including stained glass windows, pointed arches and textured walls.
The kitchen is to the right, with wood-panelled walls and cloth-covered cabinets matching the unique style of the home. A sun room acts as the ideal place to unwind and soak up the views from indoors. There’s under-floor heating in each room, including the lounge, two bedrooms and the bathroom.
For ultimate relaxation, the log cabin is the place to be. Positioned directly by the lake, homeowners can spend hours sitting outside on the decking area – or even hop in for a swim.
Across from the farmhouse, the barn offers a multitude of uses, including as a home office or workshop, while there’s a large storage room underground, too.
Despite feeling far removed from reality, Macroom town can be reached within 20 minutes, while Kilmichael is a 10 minute drive away.
