Description
- Sale Type: For Sale by Private Treaty
Savills is delighted to present this Spectacular Coastal Property at Myrtleville to the market.
This spectacular coastal property on 2.14 hectares (5.28 acres), built originally as a family home in 1824, has enviable ocean views. This unique property now comes to the market ready for an exciting new chapter. The site set high on the rugged cliff overlooking Myrtleville Bay and the large span of Atlantic ocean which sits just outside Cork Harbour. The wide vista encompasses the local sandy beach of Myrtleville, the rugged coast beneath Fennells Bay, the headland of Crosshaven, Roches Point, Power Head and Ballycotton to the east and Ringabella headland to the west.
Dramatic and picturesque, this site wraps almost half a kilometre around the coastline and overlooks rugged rocks below with deep blue sea, perfectly calm with a gentle roll on a sunny summer' s day while the white horses of a windy day crash on the shore creating completely different but just as stunning scenery. The location is on the south coast of Ireland with Atlantic Ocean views where you can watch the cruise ships and all other marine traffic arriving at the mouth of Cork Harbour. Two sandy beaches Myrtleville and Fountainstown are popular swimming spots with water sports available while Crosshaven, home to The Royal Cork Yacht Club, the oldest sailing club in the world is only 4.5km away with its sheltered marina and world-renowned sailing facilities. From this spectacular site, you can watch the whales, dolphins and other wildlife which are common visitors to the Cork harbour area every summer.
The potential of this site is endless. Premium homes have been constructed or renovated in this particular stretch of coastline over the last number of years, but none with such a dramatic and private setting. Perfect for a premium one-off residence the site is beautifully tucked away under the hill with a long wide driveway and adjoining gardens, all overlooking the sea. This extensive access ensures further potential for a niche residential development or indeed a high-end boutique hotel where ocean views would be at a premium.
The Property
Ground Floor
The ground floor is entered via a foyer located to the side of the property allowing for full ocean views from the restaurant. On entering the large open plan area opens up to a wide sea vista with bathroom facilities located to the right of the foyer. Floored with Canadian walnut flooring this large open plan room has double glazed PVC windows running the full length enjoying panoramic sea views and ensuring the area is flooded with natural light. Double French doors lead to the extensive terrace running the full length of the property, also with unspoiled sea views. There are tow other large areas with kitchen facilities to the rear while on the southern corner of the property there is a large conservatory leading on to an extensive terrace. The conservatory also features gas heaters throughout making this space ideal for use all year round.
First floor
To the first floor, there are two rooms located to the front of the property benefitting from sea views and natural light with a kitchenette, storage and further bathroom facilities . Two further storerooms and a laundry room are also located to the rear.
OUTSIDE
Access to the property is via a wide driveway which is surrounded by mature shrubs eventually opening up to the wide ocean vista, on the northern end of the property. The entire property extends to 5.28 acres with uninterrupted panoramic sea views. A third of the site is zoned open space / green infrastructure which fully protects the property ensuring maximum privacy to any development on the main section of the lands. The mature tiered garden benefits from several areas where you can enjoy that breath-taking view, all surrounded by mature shrubbery.
The double garage with an enclosed yard is accessed from the parking area close to the entrance. There is dilapidated living accommodation located behind the main house at a higher level which has not been occupied for many years. This gives an option to extend the existing property with an existing footprint. The entire site stretches to the southwest around the headland where further ocean views towards Fountainstown are available.
This is one of the most unique properties to come available on the Cork coastline in recent years and is prime for redevelopment. Suggested uses are as follows:

- Convert the existing main building and Annex into multiple residential units
- Small Scale Residential Development
- Nursing Home Facility
- Care Home Facility
