Large Waterfront Holding with Restored Cottage

Perched on an elevated site in a stunning coastal and countryside setting, this beautifully restored traditional Irish cottage has been completely rebuilt in 2015 from its original derelict state. Set on c. 19.6 acres of land with direct waterfront access, the home enjoys breathtaking panoramic views over Kenmare Bay and across to the Iveragh Peninsula and McGillycuddy Reeks from pretty much every room. Just a 25-minute drive from the charming heritage town of Kenmare, the gated property offers utmost privacy while being conveniently close to local attractions such as Josie’s Restaurant, Dereen Gardens, An Sibin and the renowned Helen’s Bar & Restaurant at Kilmackillogue. This spacious home extends to c. 225 sqm. It is full of traditional charm and yet offers all modern conveniences including zoned underfloor heating, PV panels with battery storage, solar panels and an EV charger resulting in a superb BER of B1. The ground floor opens with a bright hallway, leading into a large open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area with a vaulted ceiling. Panoramic sea views can be enjoyed through expansive window fronts and French doors that fill the space with natural light. A double-sided stove adds warmth and comfort, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen features traditional wooden units, a range-style cooker, and a separate utility room for added convenience. A separate cozy living room featuring oak wood flooring and a wood-burning stove offers an ideal space to unwind. Also on this floor are two generously sized bedrooms, a guest WC, and a bright, relaxing sunroom. Upstairs, the large master bedroom en-suite includes a walk-in wardrobe, while a fourth bedroom and a beautifully finished Jack-&-Jill family bathroom complete the layout. Externally the property offers plenty of space and practical features including a patio area perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful sea views, a large workshop that can also be used for storage or as a studio, aswell as several outbuildings on the land . The c. 19 acres site is fully fenced and divided into individual paddocks and a cattle crush and yard are already in place. The land gently slopes down to the sea, where about 1.5 acres of private shoreline can be enjoyed. Wooden steps lead directly to the water, making it easy to access the coast, where there was a mooring previously. With open space, coastal views, and private waterfront access, this is a truly special and peaceful retreat perfect for those seeking tranquility by the sea, the boating enthusiast or a small farm operation.
