That cottage is not far from me, I'm 10 mins from Corry strand but it's not that remote as in the nearest village is Dowra on the Cavan/leitrim border which has a fully stocked Spar supermarket & a pub/restaurant, it's sufficient for all your needs but far enough away to enjoy the peace! The Spar also stocks hard ware items and paint so you'd rarely need to go to Carrick on Shannon, once you have a car nothing is hard to find here in the wild West! It's a beautiful part of Ireland lovely Leitrim, anyone who buys this cottage won't regret it😀

That is just beautiful, I can only dream of living in a paradise like this..I wish every happiness to whoever decides to buy this grand place.☘

I'm enjoying this mini series. The fact that this cottage is in good condition, has outbuildings and internet connection should make it a very easy option for a lot of people starting out. Yes, it needs some work to realise its full potential but I think that will allow the new owner to put their mark on it.

This is a beautiful stone cottage and piece of land. I can think of all sorts of possibilities for the property. Sadly, I am 77 and could not live that remotely. If I were 20 years younger, I would love to buy this holding.

It is an interesting building as that quality of stone work is rare in Ireland for a small cottage of the period - rubble work was far more common. It does not look to me like a schoolhouse, my guess is that it would have been the cottage for a trusted retainer for the local big landowner. That area was also surprisingly industrialised in the early 19th Century (coal at Arigna, and lots of good pottery/brick clay), so it may have been associated with one of the workers, possibly someone from Britain as the architecture isn’t particularly vernacular. It’s close to Spencer harbour, which was a mini local industrial area - the lake and rivers/canals allowed access all over Ireland and direct to Dublin and Belfast. This was not a remote area 200 years ago! It was very connected once the canals had been finished by the late 18th Century.

Excellent and very interesting comment . It would be very interesting to find out the history of these cottages . This would help bring them alive . Maybe there are local local historians who could team up with Daniel to research the history and Daniel could then include the history in his videos .

My grandparents left Sligo in 1917 bound for Brooklyn! To this day we’re still tight with all our cousins who stayed behind!🇺🇸❤️🍀🇮🇪

Because of the low ceiling in that cottage, the rooms heat up very quickly. Energy efficiency. In Poland standard height of the ceilings was 3.5m - 4m. It become very popular lowering that ceilings to average 2,4 m. that can generate 40/60% savings on hitting cost. After August 15 temperature at night can drop in Poland to around 50F.

Your delivery to camera is incredible, you are such a natural. Loved having a look at this place :)

I live near San Francisco, California. Traffic, high prices, high stress, high crime, severe drought, low quality food and pollution. I cried myself to sleep last night. My kids and I talk about how nice it would be to move to Ireland. This cottage is so sweet, the pros would make the cons look like nothing. I would love to hear the birds and rain instead of the freeway and ambulances.

What fun to watch these video tours! I know I will never move to Ireland but one can dream. As an American I find your use of the term “remote” to describe these locations charming. Here remote means it takes the sheriff an hour or more to respond to a call for help. Anyway, thanks for the great videos! You seem to enjoy making them as much as we like watching.

I lived in Ireland back in 1985-1995 and had the chance to buy a beautiful fixer up cottage for about 10,000. I never did and now regret it. My wish is to return and buy one which is much smaller to handle but remote like this. I am getting on in years but still think it is manageable. I just ran into your channel and will continue to watch for more inspiration. Thank you!💕 Slainte!

These videos are great, there's no one else out there doing this and you answer every question I would ask. Top work!!

Another excellent, clear-eyed view of a beautiful property. The mosh pit made me chuckle.

There’s also two pubs about 2 km from this house. And a Catholic Church, if that’s your bag.

i'm so happy that you're continuing this series, it's the perfect blend of wholesome, educational and relatable ! and it really shows how much you enjoy making it :) i hope this lovely property (those thick exposed walls inside are just to die for) gets a really happy owner soon

I love this series that you are doing. You give such honest opinions and advice on these cottages. This one is a beauty.

Hi Daniel, I really enjoy the property's for sale . You are so well at describing the properties the ends and outs .I could just listen on your views living on the land.

Don't stop the Ducks Quacking Dan, l love the sound almost as much as you're Guitar playing and singing ❤ looking forward to seeing you back showing us you're latest Project at Mossy Bottom and watching Moss look up at you with those adoring eyes, you lost a tad of weight, but it suits you.

There is something very warm and inviting about little stone cottages. Beautiful.

Hello, I just stumbled upon your channel and really enjoy your content. The cottage that you brought to us is really cute, even with the minor fix-ups you spoke about. What is more exciting is that it comes with a bit of land and it’s quiet remote location. This kind of remind me of the home I live in now. I used to own a 2350 sq ft home: put it up for sale, and within a week it sold. The home I currently have is only 940 sq ft, with 2 acres and very remote…I live in the woods way up in northern WI…I just love it! Peace and quiet…cozy too! Thank you for your channel and sharing your life with everyone. Cheers!

Thank you for another beautiful, calming video. They are so therapeutic and help my anxiety. I pray the lady finds a wonderful buyer and has a successful sale. To live in a 250 yr old stone home would be incredible. So many generations and lifetimes those walls have seen.

I love cottages they look for lovely and comfortable. It's amazing to see old buildings still in shape; very skilled masons indeed!

You put the commenters who questioned your motives eloquently and respectfully, in their place! Good work, Daniel!

I love, love this series. Thank you!

You have continually renewed my faith in humanity.

I love your take on these properties - very practical and honest. 2 years ago I would probably taken a serious look but, given all the restrictions and potential supply problems, the current timing is too problematic for me to make that jump to Ireland. Plus, having spent most of 2020 and 2021 trapped in doors, I'm not sure how I'd cope without the occasional human interaction! I've already started going a bit loopy. Please don't stop though as they are lovely to watch. x

This house has everything is my dream to move to Ireland!!!!

I love looking into other people’s properties and houses and seeing how they live and how they have it all organized. There was a time when I spent many hours watching Escape to the country. 😂 there was also a time (melancholic teenage years) I daydreamed of living in Ireland in one of those cottages. Nowadays I prefer sunshine, lots of light and huge windows, and central heating. But I still love seeing how other people live. And I appreciate your take on those properties.

How beautiful. This would be my dream. I love Irland and its people.

Your endless ingenuity continues to impress and delight. I'm thoroughly enjoying this new series. If I didn't live in Canada, and was instead in Ireland, I'd definitely come and take a look at this lovely cottage.

What a beautiful cottage and the amount of land…my perfect place 👍😊🇬🇧

Beautiful find!! A lucky someone will be happy here!!!!

Really loving this content! The way you structure this format is so educational and fun at the same time! Amazing to see there are places like this for that kind of price, gets me dreaming :)

Omg!! I absolutely love this place! Too bad I live in the states. We are currently looking for a place exactly like that one. Also in our price range. We are in the process of getting our 125 yr old house ready to sell.

So lovely!🥰. I can only dream of living on such a beautiful piece of land. 😍

Gosh I love this new series you are doing! In fact it was my introduction to your channel and I’m obsessed with it! I’m so keen to start being more self sufficient and start this homesteading adventure!

top man. love these property vids. its great that they are for sale now. makes daydreaming more real.

I am so intrigued and engrossed in these videos! And your personality and intelligence makes them even better if that's possible! Fantastic! Thank you SO much!!

South facing slope, these three words are magic to me. Thank you again Daniel for another really enjoyable video!

I think I like the upstairs more, incredibly cozy, thick stone walls, the amazing wood floor. I love it all!

I love this and reminds me of my grandparents home. It was damp and cold, we would lite the fires and turn the beds down, to get the damp out before bed. My parents came to the states in 1958, but all our family was back in Ireland. It wasn't until I got older, I started to miss my American amenities, you know heat, garbage disposal, dishwasher, washer AND dryer. 😂

I live in Canada and that's what I love about Europe and Ireland is that there is so much history here in Canada there are many homes from 1850's to 1890's and newer but a home over 200 years old no way since everything that old was built with wood and it rotted away a long time ago or burned down like many old wooden structures have.

Actually we in Canada do have older stone buildings. Near me in the Ancaster area I know of a house from 1780. If you go to Montreal or Quebec City you'll find many historic stone buildings which are much older than that.

My mother visited Ireland for several weeks over the years,she said she really liked Ireland,but living there no thanks,cold breezy and damp. everything is so far away,living off the land is a way of life.

WELL DONE Daniel! A young man of 'many' talents! Thanx 4 sharing. God bless!

If I bought that cottage as an elderly woman, I would convert thd big outbuilding into guest accommodation, possibly and sir b and ɓ . There's at least room for a little onsuite , if not a separate bedroom and little sitting room . A tiny kitchenette could be at one end of thd sitting area with microwave and airfryer . I'd provide breakfast , possibly in the main cottage and of course a little hamper on arrival with food for a supper. One could even have one bedroom in the cottage as a bed and breakfast, using the tiny bedroom as a bathroom. I'd make a garden all around the cottage with , if possible, French windows to the back garden. Use the small brick store for a freezer etc. The wooden outbuildings for hens , and possibly a goat. The garden would be a reasonable size ( id need sadly to cut downa few trees to make it , but theyd go in the wood store for firewood ) , not too big and give me years of pleasure to create it . Then I'd plant soft fruit, fruit trees and grow vegetables for myself. One could try even peaches and apricots on the front wall of the house . Of course the animals provide fertiliser for the veg and fruit . Can you tell i love too build castles in the air ! Actually twenty years ago I did havd enough money to do that .

Such a brilliant presentation of a property! I wish estate agents would do something of this sort, honest and clear, for properties on sale as a standard, that would make it so much easier to make your choice without much stress and worry.

I was thinking about moving to Texas from California to get into some type of small hold or self-sufficient situation on a sprawl of land but these feature videos of potential cottages on land for sale have turned my eyes to the more possibilities of where I could purchase. This one in particular yes with a little bit of work would be quite satisfying I don’t think it will stay on the market long. It’s a lifestyle that is becoming more and more desirable. Look forward to more series from Missy bottom!

I love this new series you're doing! It's really helpful to get an idea of what living there would be like and what it would cost. I also always love being introduced to more pigs :)

Despite the fact that I made my big move from California to the south of France in 2007, it can be interesting to see how things are elsewhere. The cottage is charming without a doubt. The land, stunning. However, it was your delightful presentation that made this really stand out from the others I have seen. Your passion for this lifestyle and love of the land are like that double rainbow after the storm. Thank you and if I ever get to that part of Ireland, perhaps I will see you in that corner of the pub. It sounds perfect for a writer...

I love this series you are doing! It’s so fun. I’m in the US but have been to Ireland once for two weeks & just loved it mightily. How wonderful to sit and dream of buying one of these & going back long-term. Who knows what the future may hold?

This was so informative and thorough - I always learn so much from your videos. Officially envious of whoever gets to live in this lovely spot 😁

Today I read about a family from Birmingham with two young boys, fed up with the rising crime rate and hectic city life, sold up and moved to Shapinsay, an island in the Orkneys. Their 3 bed house came with 42 acres of land including it's own private beach......all for £125k!!

This is a fabulous video and I must admit I do want to look for a rural property. How you popped up is by divine timing. Very thorough and I shall watch more of your work.

I am always delighted by your videos. Fine chap you are.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Very comprehensive and thoughtful tour.

The Cottage is gorgeous and I would so make the outbuilding into a storage area and workshop.

This home has a lot of potential and the land is so green. Love the cottage. Someone that loves the area can turn it into an awesome place. Just gorgeous.

Thanks, that was a lovely place.

I like the way you think. And, recognized right off that there were pigs running loose. The outbuildings are wonderful!

What a delightful song!!!!!!!

This is a wonderful series. Who knows, we might be neighbours some day!

Hmmm. I lived in a Gate Lodge stone cottage on an old countryhouse estatedown in Tipp for a year. Much nicer than these old cottages mainly due to larger windows, better foundations and insulation. And higher ceilings. I would open up the ceiling and raise it up w a mezzanine floor instead of two floors with low ceilings. They are oppressive to live with full time in Winter..People were smaller back then, not so now..:) Lovely site .

What a brilliant idea! Love these videos!!

I am fresh to your channel. Subscribed. Good attitude, gent. Hats off.

I think there's an alternative version of me out there, shopping for a remote cottage in Ireland ..gorgeous video thanks
