Description
Hi My name is Caitriona. I live in the beautiful blackwater valley near Mallow co. Cork Ireland. Its a very old Georgian property with beautiful old wooded parkland and a lovely walled garden.
I keep some horses, mostly for pleasure riding and some broodmares. The property is 5 minutes from the mainline trainstaion and bus which gives you access to all parts of Ireland. Were 30 mins from Cork City.

You are coming to a most beautiful part of Ireland on the edge of the Sliabh Luachra which has a very rich traditional Irish music and cultural heritage.

I would love someone who is interested in maintaining and restoring part of the garden from a tenniscourt to a wild prairie garden
