A 114ac farm in the Burren has recently been brought to the market. Listed with New Quay Real Estate, the land at Caher Valley, Fanore, Co Clare is all in one block and could be described as one of the most unique farms on the market in the country this year.
For sale by private treaty, this farm stretches east to west along the Caher valley. The Caher river runs along the western boundary of the farm and is unique as it is the only stable surface river in the Burren region that flows all year. It also has exceptionally high-water quality being naturally rock filtered from its source beneath the Burren Mountain of Sliabh Elva. It then flows through what is now the Caher Valley Nature reserve before meeting the property.
Fanore Blue Flag Beach
This lower western section comprises a combination of pristine open farmland and native woodland, in the most serene of settings with direct access to the Caher Valley Loop Walk and Green Road which takes you over the top of the mountain to spectacular open ocean views and directly down to Fanore Blue Flag Beach.
On the upper eastern section, a vast tract of open farmland rises to meet the Burren Mountain peaks and an elevation that affords an eagle’s view of the spectacular surrounding valley, Galway Bay and the Twelve Bens Mountains in Connemara on the horizon 60km away.
Most of the farm is considered grazing ground and the upper reaches of the property are used as winterage.
The Caher River that flows through the property is unique as the only river that flows on the surface of the BUrren all year round.
The remains of a limestone cottage are located in the centre of an old stone-age fort
Stone Age Fort
Included in the eastern portion of the property is the Burren limestone shelf and the ancient Stone Age fort, Cathair an Aird Rois. Included within the wall of this fort are the ruins of a limestone cottage.
Limestone walls and hedgerows form the boundary of this property, which is dissected by the N67 mountain road forming part of the Wild Atlantic Way. There is about 750 metres of road frontage. Auctioneer Eugene Broderick is guiding this property at €750,000.
