Loughcarrig House, Ballinnacurra, Midleton, Co. Cork, P25D785

MAGNIFICENT PERIOD HOME 10 ACRES WATERFRONT SITE Savills are delighted to present Loughcarrig House, an exceptional four/six bedroom Georgian residence occupying a truly remarkable waterfront setting on approximately 10 acres on the shores of Cork Harbour, less than 3km from Midleton town. Rarely does a property of such scale, privacy and natural beauty come to the market in East Cork. Approached via a long sweeping tree lined driveway, the house reveals itself gradually through magnificent mature woodland and landscaped grounds planted centuries ago. Positioned elegantly at the mouth of the Owenacurra River, the property commands breath taking views across the estuary towards East Ferry, Cobh and the wider expanse of Cork Harbour, with approximately 400m of private shoreline and direct water access for boating, fishing and watersports. Originally constructed in the early 1800's, Loughcarrig House is a fine example of a detached three bay, two storey Georgian country residence, with its graceful symmetry, sash windows and elegant proportions reflecting the merchant villas historically associated with Cork Harbour. The property retains a wealth of original features including cornicing, fireplaces, high ceilings and timber sliding sash windows which fill the principal reception rooms with natural light and frame the spectacular water views. The accommodation is both elegant and versatile, ideally suited to modern family living. The main house comprises four generous bedrooms, while the basement level, previously fitted for residential use, offers excellent potential for additional self contained accommodation with space for a further two bedrooms, living area and kitchen facilities. A later extension blends seamlessly with the original residence and provides a welcoming kitchen centred around an Aga together with additional reception and dining space overlooking the gardens and harbour beyond. The grounds are a defining feature of the property. Beautiful lawns, mature trees, shrubs and flowers create an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and privacy. Two charming walled gardens with original stone walls sit along the coastline, while an extensive courtyard complex with stone stables, stores and outbuildings offers enormous potential for equestrian use, hobby farming, rewilding, artist studios, business use or future residential conversion, subject to the necessary planning consent. Historically associated with horse training, the estate retains its strong equestrian appeal, while its unique waterfront setting and proximity to Midleton, golf clubs, schools, hotels, sports clubs, rail connections and Cork City make it one of the most compelling lifestyle properties to come to the East Cork market in recent years.
