Description
Nestled in a stunning location, this exceptional waterfront property affords outstanding privacy and fronts onto the shores of Oysterhaven Bay offering unobstructed sea and countryside views across the bay towards the Oysterhaven peninsula and the Preghane headland from its elevated position. The property sits on c. 1.25 acres with c. 65 m of water frontage with a pebbled beach at low tide. The property offers a fine garden with a variety of plants, shrubs and trees and there is a concrete slipway with deep water access and a concrete driveway leading all the way down from the entrance of the property, and steps perfect for easy access to the water for boating and other water sport activities. Available in three different lots: Lot 1 – The existing house on c. 1.25 acres, Lot 2 - Lot 1 together with the addition of a c. 2 acres waterfront site (c. 3.25 acres in total) or Lot 3 – Lot 1 together with the addition of a c. 4 acres waterfront site (c. 5.25 acres in total). The extra land would provide the new owner with plenty of opportunities to make use of the extra space - subject to planning permission. On a generous floor area of c. 266 sqm, the south and west facing home is designed to maximise the unique location and unrivalled views across the bay with a split-level interior and a stepped back footprint. One enters the house at the split-level hallway from where double doors lead to the large, open plan living area. Built over a total of three levels it is designed to create a wealth of natural light and maximise the views from every level. The top level currently serves as a kitchen cum dining area. The mid-level is a spacious living room and the lower level is a conservatory offering stunning views from is floor to ceiling windows and providing access to the large decking area to the front of the house. The decking flows seamlessly into the garden and lawn areas and from there to the slip and the beach. There is a total of four bedrooms, all with stunning sea views and access to the garden. The master bedroom is en-suite and there is a family bathroom serving the other bedrooms. There is also a study off the dining area, which could also cater as a fifth bedroom. The house is in good condition throughout and has been well maintained by its current owners. Some of the bedrooms and both bathrooms have been upgraded, however, the home would benefit from an overall contemporary upgrade. The property also has the benefit of two separate full planning permissions, one to retain, upgrade and extend the current house. The other planning permission is for a full contemporary re-design on a 3.25 acres site. Just minutes from Kinsale, this truly unique waterfront property is a special find, offering stunning views and fantastic living space perfect for enjoying the beauty of the surrounding nature.
