IT WOULD BE hard not to be enchanted by this waterfront property nestled at the entrance to Rossbrin Cove in the heart of west Cork.
This meticulously restored 19th century farmhouse spans about 136m and is a rare find. Who doesn’t dream of a life beside the sea? The property even has an incredible 33 acres of uninterrupted coastal beauty to enjoy.
This three-bed home’s history is steeped in Irish heritage, with the remnants of Rossbrin Castle adding an air of mystery to the setting. The castle, which dates back to the 15th or 16th century (although rumoured to have origins in 1310), bears witness to the life of the O’ Mahony family to tales of piracy on the high seas.
And although a historical site, there is plenty of room for modern comforts that sit well against the natural beauty.
The ground floor is home to a sitting room that has access to the sun terrace and a kitchen and dining room. The floor is covered in tile creating a seamless flow from one space to the next.
The kitchen is complete with integrated appliances. a handy utility room sits off this space and it offers plenty of storage along with a stainless steel sink.
A bathroom and a room that is currently a study completes the ground floor. If the next owners wishes, this study could make a comfortable third bedroom.
Two bedrooms, both with sturdy timber floors, are located upstairs. They share the bathroom on this level that has a bath and a separate shower cubicle.
The property also includes stone outbuildings, large barns, and modern amenities such as air-to-water heating with underfloor heating on the ground floor.
The property also features outbuildings that nod to its farmhouse roots and offer versatile spaces for various uses. The adjacent stone outbuilding has great potential for conversion, subject to planning permission.
Located between the vibrant harbour town of Schull and the charming village of Ballydehob, this property offers the perfect blend of peace and convenience. Both towns provide rich Irish culture, dining, shopping and friendly local communities.
Rossbrin Cove itself is a sheltered haven, perfect for sailing, water sports and moorings. With direct access to the coastline, this home is a maritime enthusiast’s dream.
