Property Description

Brian Gleeson Property are delighted to present to the market an exceptional residential development opportunity, benefiting from Full Planning Permission for six architecturally designed homes. This “Ready-To-Go” site offers builders, developers, or investors an immediate opportunity to commence construction of a boutique scheme of modern, energy-efficient A-rated homes in one of East Cork’s most desirable and proven residential locations.

Extending to circa 4 acres, the property benefits from planning permission for a carefully curated mix of six distinctive detached homes, comprising five two-storey residences and one single-storey home, each thoughtfully designed to maximise privacy, outlook, and contemporary living. A number of the homes feature upside-down living layouts, expertly orientated to capture the panoramic views across Capel Island and the historic Dromdiah House. The permission also incorporates all associated infrastructure including drainage, landscaping, and ancillary site development works, ensuring a seamless transition from acquisition to construction.

This development presents a rare opportunity to create a niche, low-density residential enclave offering an unparalleled lifestyle in a scenic coastal setting, combining architectural excellence with natural beauty.

Nestled within the townland of Dromdihy, the site enjoys an enviable position close to the charming village of Killeagh. This picturesque East Cork village is renowned for its strong sense of community, traditional Irish character, and lush green surroundings. The welcoming main street is home to a selection of local shops, cosy cafés, and traditional pubs, offering a peaceful yet vibrant village lifestyle.

Killeagh boasts a thriving sporting culture, with both Killeagh GAA Club and Glenbower Rovers GAA Club supporting teams across all age groups. Outdoor enthusiasts are well catered for with the stunning Glenbower Wood, offering tranquil woodland walks along the Dissour River Valley, while the Midleton–Youghal Greenway provides a scenic walking and cycling route through the surrounding countryside. Golfers will appreciate the close proximity to several highly regarded courses, including Youghal Golf Club, with its parkland setting overlooking Youghal Bay, and East Cork Golf Club.

Educational facilities are excellent, with a range of well-established pre-schools and national schools nearby, including Inch National School and Kyle National School. The area also offers convenient access to leading secondary schools such as Midleton CBS Secondary School, Midleton College, and St. Colman’s Community College, making this an ideal location for family living.

The property enjoys excellent connectivity, with the N25 national primary road located nearby, providing access to Cork City (approximately 35 minutes) and linking the site between the thriving town of Midleton and the picturesque coastal town of Youghal. Regular bus services further enhance accessibility for commuters.
