About this property
Description
Saltwinds is located in the scenic townland of Kealties on the Sheep’s Head Peninsula near Bantry in West Cork. This beautifully renovated three-bedroom home enjoys idyllic views of Dunmanus Bay and across the surrounding West Cork landscape to the scenic Mizen Peninsula. The property is positioned between the villages of Durrus and Ahakista and offers a peaceful coastal setting with easy access to the sea, local amenities and walking trails. The house extends to approximately 128 sq.m. (1,378 sq.ft.) and is thoughtfully refurbished in recent years. The renovations include external insulation cladding, new sash windows and doors, an efficient central heating system and a complete internal fit-out, all finished to an exceptional standard of craftsmanship. Additional modern upgrades include a newly installed water purification system, a smart control heating system and comprehensive wall and floor soundproofing. The result is a warm, comfortable home that blends traditional charm with modern efficiency. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, filled with natural light and designed for relaxed everyday living. A utility room, guest WC and a double bedroom with en-suite complete the downstairs layout. Upstairs are two further double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, with elevated views over the surrounding countryside and coastline. The beautifully landscaped gardens are framed by mature trees and shrubs, offering excellent privacy and a peaceful, sheltered setting. A generous south-west facing deck area provides the ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation, capturing the best of the afternoon and evening sun. A large garden shed provides valuable additional storage, and there is an additional orchard garden that offers ample space for vegetable beds or further landscaping potential. Just a five-minute drive from Ahakista and within easy reach of Durrus, Bantry, and the villages of Schull and Ballydehob, this home offers a rare combination of seclusion and convenience. It’s an ideal base for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty and slower pace of life on the West Cork coast. Notice: Please note we have not tested any apparatus, fixtures, fittings, or services.
