Hidden Gem

Asking €595,000 – All serious offers considered.  This rare find is a must-see!

Ballyhooly Lodge is a hidden gem steeped in history, located 10 minute from Fermoy and 20 minutes from Mallow, nestled in the foothills of the Nagle Mountains and the Blackwater Valley.

With the dance hall now tastefully converted to a yoga studio by current owners, Ballyhooly Lodge has existed as a cherished family home for over 25 years, once known as the Castle Tavern.  With current owners now wishing to downsize now that their adult children have “flown the nest”, a rare opportunity now exists for younger owners to make this home their own.

A short drive to nearby sacred sites including Labacallee Wedge tomb, Bridgetown Priory, Glenville Mass Rock, Doonpeter Famine Walk, Nano Nagle Birthplace and with Castleblagh Woods on the doorstep, there is great potential to run as a nature retreat or holistic tourism business, conversion to two 5 bed dwellings under one roof, further subdivision into 3 or 4 dwellings.

With potential for grant funding for renovation and preservation of the streetscape (subject to council requirements at the time of application) this rare gem of a property has a world of possibilities waiting to be explored!

Nature Retreats

Nearby Castleblagh woods and forest walks along the Blackwater River make the Ballyhooly area a haven for a variety of peaceful Nature Retreats.

Potential activities include nature walks and pilgrimages to local spiritual places of interest, connecting with nature and the trees through forest bathing with the glorious Castleblagh Woods and Forest Recreation Area at the doorstep.

Balllyhooly Lodge has 9 bedrooms with potential for 10th bedroom.  Including the self contained 5 bedroom guest house which may have potential to become a 2nd dwelling .
