Looking a little like a 19th Century American Midwest homestead, this Ballymakeera property has two cottages, two distinctive timber barns, a large plot of land, riverfrontage and the shelter of some exceedingly tall trees.
But although the lifestyle appealed, the cottage itself needed a huge amount of work before it became the pretty, traditional property that viewers can now come and see.
Believed to date from the 1900s, it was, the owners have been told, originally the home of two brothers who were carpenters while the stone cottage behind it, which has been partially renovated, is even older.
