Tucked beside the breakwater at the edge of Ballycotton Harbour, this derelict stone boathouse offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a piece of the village’s rich maritime heritage. Constructed in the 1830s, this original boathouse stands on a site of approx. 120 sq.m. with direct proximity to the water’s edge. Accessed by right-of-way from the main street, the property occupies a secluded and sheltered position overlooking Ballycotton's active fishing pier: a location that is as unique as it is captivating.
