Kerry, this cosy farmhouse nestles in the friendly arms of the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks range of mountains at Graignagreana in the far West of Ireland.

Developed over four years on-site and in Tokyo by award-winning architectural stars Front Office Tokyo, the full planning package will be made available to the successful purchaser. Graignagreana may qualify for a vacant home refurbishment grant. For more on this grant, click here.
