Galley Head, Castlefreke, Clonakilty, Co. Cork

New to the market this is a comfortable 4 bedroom farmhouse in one of the most spectacular coastal settings in the world. Galley Head is a famous headland and lighthouse situated some 14km west of Clonakilty and c. 64 kms from Cork City, there are several gorgeous beaches closeby including the blue flag beaches of The Warren and Ownahincha as well as Red Strand and the surfing beach of the Long Strand. The house has great character and would respond well to a little modernising but with the oil heating and double glazing it is perfectly liveable in. It has fantastic views of the sea and Galley Head lighthouse from the sunroom and it is well worth a visit.




Galley Head station was built in 1875, during the heyday of lighthouse building. The Galley Head and the Fastnet have the distinction of
being two of the most powerful lighthouses in Europe. The lighthouse
displays an unusual landward arc of light because, it is said, the
Sultan of Turkey asked to be able to see it from Castle Freke at
Rosscarbery nearby on his visit there
