The Anchorage, Oysterhaven, Kinsale, Cork, Ballinclashet, Co. Cork, P17DA32

Stunning and private 5 bedroom waterfront property on 2.8 acres Savills is delighted to introduce The Anchorage to the open market, a distinctive five-bedroom detached waterfront residence on the Kinure headland in Oysterhaven, set on an exceptional site of approximately 2.8 acres. This home is a masterclass in harmony with its natural surroundings. Built into the hillside, its split-level design cascades gently down the slope, ensuring every room captures sweeping views across Oysterhaven Bay and out towards the Sovereign Islands. The property includes 65 metres of direct water frontage, with a pebble beach revealed at low tide and a slipway offering deep-water access. Remarkably, it is one of only three properties on the headland with its own slipway, a rare privilege in this part of the world. Inside, the flow between living, dining, and relaxation spaces creates an atmosphere of openness and light. The main living area, spread across three levels, opens towards the sea through floor-to-ceiling glazing, framing panoramic views and bathing the interiors in natural light throughout the day. A conservatory leads directly to a large, sea-facing deck. Each bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to offer views and direct access to the garden, fostering an intimate connection with the surrounding landscape. The master bedroom occupies a desirable corner position, benefiting from dual aspects and a private en suite bathroom. The remainder of the property includes a well-appointed utility room and ample storage spaces, ensuring practicality and convenience for everyday living. While the existing structure is full of charm and functionality, it also presents extraordinary potential. Two planning permissions have already been approved, allowing future owners the flexibility to either extend the current home or pursue a new-build opportunity. The property's private slipway provides direct access to the water, making it exceptionally convenient for boating enthusiasts. From here, residents can easily reach Kinsale and explore the wider coastline beyond, enjoying effortless access to some of the region's most scenic maritime routes. Whether for leisure sailing, kayaking, or simple waterfront relaxation, the slipway strengthens the property's unique connection to its coastal setting. Outside, the entrance divides into two directions, to the right, leading down to the driveway and parking area, and to the left, providing access to the slipway. The property sits within a mature and well-defined site, featuring clearly marked boundaries. The grounds include rolling lawns bordered by a selection of mature hedging, trees, and natural foliage, creating a sense of privacy and seclusion. Adjacent to the house, the neighbouring field comprises gently sloping grassland that faces westward, offering immense potential to further enhance or expand the property. Whether you're trading up or seeking a second home by the sea, The Anchorage presents an exceptional opportunity. Coastal homes of this calibre are prized for their privacy, natural connection, and year-round lifestyle appeal. For those trading up, the combination of generous grounds, sea access, and architectural distinction offers an elevated standard of living. For second-home seekers, it provides an idyllic retreat, perfect for weekends by the water, family gatherings, or simply escaping to the peace and beauty of the coastline.
