Welcome to the Shepherd's Cottage, a priceless gem of Ireland's ancient heritage that sits deep in the heart of a horseshoe of mountains and at the foothill of one of Ireland's highest peaks, Mullach an Aitinn (Summit of the Gorse). To live in an extremely rare and precious location such as this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who recognise its inherent value. With strict planning laws to protect the natural beauty and ancient history of places like The Pocket, it is now impossible to gain planning permission to build here again any time in the future. Even derelict houses will not be given permission for restoration. The Shepherd's Cottage is one of the few homes of its kind available in the world today, there will be no others. In this wild and untamed place, there is hardly a sign of human hand on this landscape; it has remained unchanged for thousands of years with mountains whose ancient age exceeds that of the Himalayas.
