Leafy Lane, Rochestown, Co. Cork, T12XYV2

A rare opportunity now exists to secure one of only two remaining residential sites in an exclusive boutique development at Leafy Lane, Moneygourney, Douglas—a private enclave of six detached homes set behind an impressive entrance and surrounded by mature woodland. Positioned in one of Douglas’s most desirable and peaceful locations, these generously sized residential sites of approx. 0.18 acres each offer purchasers the chance to create a truly bespoke home in a setting that balances privacy, nature, and convenience. With two homes already completed and two further sites recently sold, interest in this development has been exceptionally strong. Elevated and beautifully positioned, the sites enjoy serene views over Garryduff Woods, creating a sense of calm and seclusion rarely found so close to the city. Yet all the amenities of Douglas Village are just minutes away—excellent primary and secondary schools, shopping centres, cafés, restaurants, sports clubs, and recreational facilities. Access to Cork City Centre, the South Link Road, and Cork Airport is effortless, making this an ideal location for modern family living. Planning permission was previously granted by Cork City Council for detached four bedroom family homes (Ref: 24/43004). Although this permission was later appealed on storm water disposal grounds, the matter is now being actively resolved. The sites are therefore offered subject to planning permission, giving purchasers both the opportunity to secure approval for their own bespoke design and strong confidence in the overall viability of the development. For those who prefer to proceed with the earlier concept, the previously approved architectural plans can also be made available. As part of the sale agreement, the sellers will complete the road extension, footpaths, and turning area, ensuring a fully finished, high quality access road into this boutique development. This represents a significant advantage for purchasers, providing a ready made, professionally completed infrastructure framework for future homes. In addition, all main services have already been brought to the site entrance from the public road, offering a convenient and cost efficient connection point for each new residence. This level of preparation further enhances the appeal of the sites, reducing complexity for buyers and supporting a smooth build process. These sites represent an outstanding opportunity for those seeking to design and build a premium home in a prestigious, tightly held neighbourhood. Combining exclusivity, natural beauty, and exceptional convenience, Leafy Lane offers a lifestyle that is both elevated and deeply connected to the best of Douglas.
