In September 1999, Stephen and his wife Frances shared a dream. That dream was to purchase Molly Gallivan’s old cottage and farm, located here in the Kerry hills. Their vision was to save a small piece of old Ireland, and in doing so, preserve some of Irelands unique and rich heritage and traditions, for ours and hopefully future generations to enjoy.

Inspired by all the additional hidden history that they discovered on the farm, including a Neolithic Stone Row (3-2000 BC), Peat Bog, prehistoric field systems, and famine ruin, the couple set to work on many years of preservation and restoration.

Today their dream is a reality. Together, with their three daughters, they run a small visitor center at Molly Gallivan’s where they welcome people from the four corners of the world, to lift the latch on the door of time and share with them in “our dream”, experiencing the unique indigenous culture and heritage of rural Ireland, while enjoying the natural beauty of the unspoiled landscape, in the Sheen Valley.
