Description

In days of old, long after Knights were bold and suits were made of tin, The Clan O'Mahony controlled lands from the banks of the River Lee south and west to Three Castle Head on the southern tip of West Cork.
The O'Mahony chiefs had Castles built on strategic points along the southern coast to control imports and exports and fishing rights. Leamcon Castle is one such castle, built by the Chieftan Father of Finin Caol O'Mahony in 1474.
Peace Talks with a certain Captain Harvey in 1603 saved Leamcon Castle from the 'battering ram' and after the Battle of Kinsale the owners sailed to a new life in Spain.
The Castle lay deserted until the mid 1970s when it was acquired by a recently qualified architect on his return to his native land from the USA. He had damaged walls structurally repaired and set up a family holiday home within the castle walls. Now the time has come, as the Walrus said, to speak of other things....and so - WE OFFER FOR SALE
This storm and wind swept jewel, Alone, all Alone, on a rugged island off the western shores of Roaring Water Bay.
