Lovely property, massive potential with an interesting history, but tinged with a little sadness that someone is leaving their life behind.
A great place to start a good life. Those tools alone are worth their weight in gold. Bless the owner, I hope they will be happy wherever they go.
What happened to those rural lines was an absolute tragedy .
steps.
Yes without a doubt, I live in Ennistymon in Co.Clare and there was a railway call the west Clare railway that brought people as far as lahinch and down as far as Miltown. So in other words you could jump on a train in Dublin and travel all the way down to lahinch beach, now Ennis is as far as you can go then have to jump on a bus which are inconsistent at best✌️
@@terrysadlier8456 I think it was called "progress" way back then .
@@neilrafferty2097 remember also Dublin had one of the best tram line infrastructure in the world in the early 20th century but unfortunately they pulled it all out of the ground🤦♂️
@@neilrafferty2097 never like the government to name something the opposite of what it achieved lol
Thanks Mossy, great video, I live in the city, want get out ASAP, I keep bees and grow my own fruit and veg.I hope to retire early in January 2023. Right up my street as I know the area, just mailed the vendor, fingers crossed it is as good at it looks.
Good luck to you Sean, I hope you get it, it would be great to see this property in the hands of someone who can take it further on this interesting journey.
If you need a volunteer, give me a shout out.
Thank you so much, the vendor sold it unseen to the first bidder, I am gutted, back to hunting, time is running short, but let there be panic, as they say “what is for you will not pass you by”Sean
@@seanclarke3406 Sean take your time to find your forever home. I am. If it was meant to be it will happen. Take a short term let, have a feel of the area and make the links and something will pop up.
The world is a real crazy place now snd everyone is looking for a piece of serenity. Best wishes.
Gutted...... till you realize there's an unfillable sinkhole below the property or haunted by long gone rail passengers.
So happy you are continuing this series. Definitely keep it up please.
Definitely has potential. I would love to see such a place repurposed and turned into something positive. Places just left to ruin are so sad. Thank you for bringing such interesting buildings to public attention. :)
There thunder and lightning outside, a glass of strawberry wine close by and I just watched another lovely video, a cottage in search of a new owner ... what a marvellous way to start my evening! ✌
Rural Ireland sometimes isn't the idyll that some imagine . Isolation , weather, maybe a certain level of poverty .
Incredible property. Do hope it ends up in the hands of someone who will keep it on its present natural path. It is perhaps a bit unlikely, but would make for very interesting videos, a post-buyer video, a follw-up. Let’s see who and what type of person bought these cottages and what their plans are. If we don’t like their intentions,, we’ll kick them out … lol 😂 🇨🇦
This looks like such a lovely property. Thank you for taking us around. xxx
Yes, Hemp and lime is great for high humidity areas actually!!! Love it
Fabulous! Would love to see follow up videos in this series if new owners would be interested in showing what they did with the properties
Daniel, love your poetic descriptions of the properties! and they are so complete as well....refreshing!
Lovely addition to the series Daniel , you really do bring the properties to life , there is huge potential with both the house and land , hopefully it won’t sit idle for long .
Dream come true for someone .what an amazing place ❤
An idea, when you have a shot from the drone, make an outline of the property so we can see its borders
This somehow makes me both sad and happy how quickly and easily nature takes back what's hers; the old train lines are almost completely disappeared already. If humans wouldn't be here, nature would forget about us more quickly than we think, I guess.
My thoughts exactly 🙄
I'm willing to live there especially I'm closer to my end of life,this place so serene and got everything I wished for, even I got picture I drew years ago. almost same
I really enjoy this content. I love your channel from a homesteader point of view, that is how I found you. I think you are the most informative and educational RUclipsr I follow. This cottage tour series is so fun. It’s fun to watch, relaxing, and still on the same topic. I felt so touched, almost to tears towards the end, and wanted to thank you so much for this different style content.
I think it’s his kind nature that has people coming back to watch his videos❤️
It looks like you could also have a profitable business selling cuttings or plants from cuttings of what is there. Having an established food forest is a dream for me. Thank you for sharing this.
Your voice and demeanor perfect for these explorations 👍
The prices for some of these ready to move in cottages is amazing to me. 120K Euro seems like a steal for 3 acres with a livable cottage on it.
Agreed, how is it so cheap?
@@radicalaccounting it's where it is not what it is. Leitrim county is one of Ireland's most rural and has the lowest population of any county. Don't forget the weather. Mossy is showing it on a good day in August, come back in January , different story. Having said all that it looks like a great project for the right person.
That old waiting room would make a lovely coffee shop seating area when the trainline opens as a cycleway and sell home made scones etc with jars of homemade jams and honey
Love homes that had another purpose in their former lives, so interesting 🥰
Lovely video Daniel. Nature’s Garden of Peace and Love
It's beautiful!!! My dad worked on the railways so how awesome to live in a station house. I love this place!!!
Thank you, Daniel, for showing this lovely property.😊
You should plant trees around mossy bottom as well. Trees rule.☝️💪
Have to be careful with foundation interference and subsidence though :(
Nice tour of this property, it's always nice to see. what properties are available and the details. Thanks for the tour.
I ❤ the kitchen and pantry! Lots of space for canning, pickling and storing. Plus there's fruits and honey 😍🍎🍒🌰🐝
Great looking house, Daniel. A real rural treasure. Thanks for another great video
Great video as always,love looking at these cottages
Lovely tour.... Great project for the right person!!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Looks like someone put a lot of work into the place.
It would be great if you could put an old carriage where the static caravan is, made into living accommodation, to rent out for holidays. Tons of potential.
I grew up in, what was once a train depot. I like how he used the plank wood for soffits.
Dreamy cottage and great analysis of its potential.
Very unusual indeed, thanks for showing around!
I just was thinking that I need to move from where I live as consequence of the long drought here. This house is very beautiful 😍. I'm going to love it 😉
I love this series of videos you do. It would be great to see some of the cheaper properties in the region, around 50-75k range. I’ve seen properties advertised in that price range and always wondered if they could be viable.
Back on the market soon,
Apple blossoms in spring, 5 star dining for bees. Love all those trees , wish I could buy it. Needs some major work and restoration .thanks for bringing it to us.
Oh Daniel , what a marvelous property! But now I want to know what becomes of it!! Possibly you could do follow up videos in a couple of years!!??
I would make the sun room my art studio. This house is the perfect artists home ❤️
Oh I do hope that your video will reach the right person. That's quite a bargain and a lovely place. Thank you for the tour.
You have a beautiful and just gracious way of doing this. Hope it doesn't go too far
What a true fairytale cottage! I dream of this romantic lifestyle but I’m not brave enough to do it on my own. Thank you Daniel for your fascinating tour of this sweet cozy cottage which is in move in condition. I truly admire you for living your dream in this truly beautiful country Ireland! Let us know if someone purchased that amazing cottage and how they are adapting! Thank you again for your informative videos😍
Beautiful. Love the woodland, fruit trees + bees + no doubt so many more insects. This is the same price I paid for my crumbly cottage + TINY garden in Somerset. Dare I????
Great tour. We are in the process of selling up in North West England. Looking between Ireland and Shetland at the moment, interesting food for thought! :)
I've lived in Derry for over 30 years, definitely home now. If I was to move it would be to the south. Slightly warmer, fractionally dryer, no extremes of temperature and less wind away from the Western coast. Beautiful pretty much everywhere.
My mother lived in Orkney for 4 years plus a summer on Fair Isle. They don't get snow or ice much because of the sea. They are cooler and wetter all year. The wind is a constant and can have a severe chill factor in the winter.
Northern Ireland and the Highlands & Islands have higher delivery costs and higher travel costs if you want to leave the area. The Islands do have special rates on planes and ferries for residents though. My ex has been in the Hebrides for a few years now too. He's extremely introverted and loves living in one of 6 houses a couple of miles from the nearest pub and small shop. Brought up in Cork too, so horses for courses.
On balance culture, history, community, scenery are equal in rural areas of Ireland and the Islands. If you plan on being accessible to family, infrastructure like roads and connections, comfortable weather then Ireland is a better choice. Two plane journeys over a long day on limited days for my adult children to see their father - Belfast to Glasgow a wait, then Glasgow to the Islands. Average cost before this year was £250 return per adult. Living in the sticks in Ireland my daughter is in Northern Co. Roscommon, 3 hours by car on country roads from Derry. She's about 2 hours on a faster road to Dublin.
Long comment, but I hope it helps.
@@michellebyrom6551 Great comment, really appreciate you taking the time to do that :)
We have regularly holidayed in Shetland at varies times of the year, so weather wise, we kind of know what to expect, although i suspect you never do till you've done a full winter there!
We were actually all set for Shetland, my wife has a job offer waiting over there at the moment as well.
Ireland has come into the picture after some relatives on both sides of our family have had massive changes in there health recently. While we are still intent to make the lifestyle change we crave, the possibility of needing to get back to see relatives has been heavily highlighted by recent events. While we adore the wildness and raw beauty of Shetland, it can literally be like getting back from Australia in terms of travel times via the ferry and car.
All food for thought and since looking at alternatives Ireland has shone out with all we are looking for in terms of lifestyle with the added bonus of quick and convenient access to travel 'home'.
My wife would like to continue to work in some capacity (I think she just likes to get away from me and kids to be honest!) so trying to delve into the job availability side in rural areas at the moment. So far it looks like Shetland has the advantage there with its huge labour shortage. She has a lot of experience working in Education and Care for Special Education, particularly Autism and loves her work, however right now, to get the lifestyle we crave she says she'll do anything! Thanks again and sorry for the longer reply!
Absolutely stunning x
Fantastic, if only..... with all that vegetation around the house, imagine the property is very protected from squalls in winter. Just charming. Thank you.
Love it, great to live in, I have great idea.s voor een little pottery in the old site. One.s I lived in a big boat office house..I still have the dream to move to Ierland. ...
I enjoyed this one. Beautiful woods.
Oh, how I wish I was forty years younger! My deposit would already be in the post!
Love everything about this property.
I agree that the road noise is a big negative. Also, most of the trees around the house appear to be deciduous, so during the winter their leaves will have dropped off, allowing for the road noise to be even greater. Nice video.
5 cars an hour !!!!!!!! I have about 300.....
Someone is going to looove that cottage and forest. I would look into growing truffles 😋
Auctioneer listing states current owner purchased the property 20 years ago (and is now selling for 149000€). Not sure why Daniel updated video description late last year to state property is now sold. Seems like it was never truly for sale. Owner gauging market maybe?
From listing photos, appears all tools and other items and appliances have been removed, place tidied up a bit. Large 6-burner gas oven now in kitchen. Ticket office now a laundry room. Old Station House placard placed next to front door. Interesting changes.
Disused railways, while being a huge loss to the community and the landscape, are at the same time fascinating places to explore for the curious mind.
Wow! This place is dreamy 💘
You know the thing about weight was definitely a compliment, as you're very well improved by it. Not to mention letting the hair get long. Very nice. And sharing in your happiness at having someone to cherish you with nice meals. Always assume the best. And, I want one of those calendars this time around. And a 2-week volunteer slot - looked at the booking group you use and it seemed like the calendar was full till for the next year.
Beautiful overview. I wish you’d show the boundaries of the property. There are what appear to be clearings and open land adjacent to this property. Really pretty and dreamy. What if…
My kind of place. I love all the treasures. If it were only in the US. I would be all over that place. Thanks for sharing.
I think that someone might not like some stuff but you just have to estimate what it would cost to haul it away. You could just have a giant garage sale to clear out stuff or donate to the neighbours and set up some relationships. I really want to reorganize the storage space. Could you reset it up as a rec room/station house. I think some of the rooms converted to bedrooms would be fun. Nice that it’s on high ground. Fruit trees would be a bit of an income.
This property brings to mind Paul Theroux's book The Kingdom by the Sea, where he discusses small dying railways in Britain.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! What a place!
Such a cool cottage.
Beautiful! Someone will be lucky to live there!
Stunning!
Hi lovely to see your video always great. Job well done. Take care
Love these videos
I love it!! ❤️
A wonderful property with lots of potential. If the walls could talk it would be interesting to listen to the stories of the lives of all that traveled between the route.
Soooo nice and touching to watch, thank you!! May I ask what the music at the end is? : )
Thank you very much for sharing this. Looks really beautiful and interesting. You didn't mention a bathroom. Is there any bathroom inside or maybe an outhouse...?
I can imagine it as a b&b/ inn for cyclists with lovely fruit tarts! Cider press... pies.... selling preserves at markets and to other inn keepers. I'd come for a stay!
Fished in Garadice before, lovely location!
This is my idea of Paradise! I could live very happy there!
Its interesting how one changes as we age. I have a small holding bought 20 years ago and Im finding it just too much now.
@Lore Delore, I think the amount of continual work needed is something that people may not realize when they buy a smallholding. Moving to a small place in a town with a garden is perfect for many people. I hope you find what works for you and you have a place to advertise your current smallholding (on this channel) :). Good luck
Lovely place. Great if it's not bought up. Great there are trees
Wow, What a place for living 🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹🌿🌹
That would be gorgeous to turn into an Air B&B. Decorated in honor of its railroad past, I think train enthusiasts would love it!
The problem would be insurance. Hemp built extension means no mainstream insurer will touch it.
Air B&B kill rural communities. They drive up prices and force the younger generations to move away. Look up Pork Isaac for how rural communities are killed by the wealthy
Lovely property if somewhat quirky. Looking at those apple trees think of apple juice, cider etc. And speaking of brambles I've been picking blackberries by the kolo on my brothers farm all win win 🏆 I envy the person who makes the purchase 🤔
I could so see this property turned into accommodation and tourist attraction! Recreate a train line and platform with lots of history and memorabilia. Sell home made honey and apple sauce! And even put in and do up an old train carriage for holiday accommodation. Would look amazing! 🚂🌳💚
Build a couple of tree houses in the wood for holiday let, provide an income, and give the grandkids a reason to visit.
I know it's late, but, did it sell? Thanks for showing this. I do like it.
If I lived in Ireland, that's the one I'll buy 👍😊
Very lovely
Hello Daniel. I hope that you are okay. We haven’t heard from you recently. Kind regards- Michael
It looks like everything got away from them for some time. There is a lot of potential for the next owner. Good luck to the sellers on their new journey.
Indeed. I think illness and a bereavement took attention away from the house and land in recent years.
@@MossyBottom bless them.
Most unusual, most beautiful
I do hope that whoever buys/bought this property has nothing but the utmost respect for the native woodland and the wildlife that has made its home there .
*sigh* I wish I lived in Europe - or Ireland specifically.... just georgeous!
Flat roofs in a rainy place? 😲 Lovely looking place though
What a magnificent place...could do with a bit of carpet but
120,000 yesterday, after your video it will go for 250,000, I would pay 120 now, funds transferred in the morning.
Oh man, could you imagine...turning that weird part of the house that makes no sense into a cafe that serves pastries and fresh honey and apples. With a cycle path, and good bike parking, you could make a bunch of money that could easily be lived off of. If only purchasing a house in Ireland came with citizenship. Sigh....
If you have even one grandparent that was born in Ireland, and have access to the documentation, you can get Irish citizenship.
@@movinon1242 I know. I don't, though. We are Canadian through and through!
@@movinon1242 No grandparents. I wish 6 great-grandparents counted.
@@jennhall522 Lots of people want to leave Canada, right? My daughter too, since we're not allowed to come visit her any more.
@@danav.2559 I don't know about lots of us, but I do know lots are dying to come here. I struggle a lot between trying to be happy where I am, and wanting to leave. I know I'm lucky to live here, and not worry that I'll be financially destroyed if I get sick, but Canada is NOT perfect, nor is any other country. Our cost of living is astronomically high. The place I live in now...were it to burn down, my rent would almost double if I had to find the same thing somewhere else. How is that affordable? I will likely never own a freestanding house here. Were I to make the same amount of money in a place like Ireland (outside of Dublin, of course), I could buy a house with a few acres! That's all I want, just the chance to own a place and try to grow my own food. It makes me sad that in order to have that here, I have to win the lottery. It makes me even more sad that it's easier to take a trip to Ireland, meet a man, fall in love, get married, and immigrate over there.
Apparently this property wasn't sold, as it has gone up for sale today, but at a much higher price - they want €149,000 now. I wonder if they had a lot of interest, so put up the price. It looks like they put in a tall fence to keep the pets -probably cats - in, but with our cats who like to roam, I wouldn't want to be near that road, we are looking for something rural but at the end of a road. I hope you can do more property tours in the future!
The abundance of fuel via timber will save however buys it fortune esp way price has risen of oil etc.
