    Homestead on the Sea! Our family home is located in a magical part of West Cork between Schull and Goleen. The orchards, wild heather walking trails, polytunnel and green house gardens, pond and beaches all create a lovely paradise. Nearby we enjoy live music+festivals in Ballydehob, hiking, thriving art and literature events, and the Fastnet film festival. We are new to the property and working on several landscaping projects including adding chickens, creating a berry grove, beekeeping, apple cider making.
