Description
Hegarty Properties are privileged to present "Cotton Rock", a detached coastal residence occupying one of East Cork's most commanding and sought-after positions. Set on an elevated south-facing plateau extending to approximately 0.6 acres, this home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across Ballycotton Bay, Ballycotton Island, Capel Island, the iconic lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Few homes command such an outstanding vantage point, where spectacular scenery, complete privacy and an unrivalled coastal setting combine so effortlessly.

Adding further appeal, the property offers direct pedestrian access from the rear gate onto the famous Ballycotton Cliff Walk, while the village itself is only a short stroll away via a private laneway. Beyond its exceptional lifestyle offering, the substantial site also presents future development potential (subject to the necessary planning permissions).
