Property Description

A waterfront residential landholding of approximately 21 acres on Roaring Water Bay, with direct foreshore access and mature woodland. A genuinely rare opportunity to secure one of the most private waterfront positions on the West Cork coast.

Properties like this do not come to the market often. Sitting within approximately 21 acres of mature woodland and amenity grassland on the inner reaches of Roaring Water Bay, this is a waterfront residential landholding of genuine scale and rarity.

The land wraps a tidal inlet on two sides, with open water to the south and the island-studded expanse of the bay beyond. There is direct access to a shingle foreshore from within the property boundary.

The setting is as private as the West Cork coastline offers at this level. The driveway approaches off a minor public road and passes through mature woodland before arriving at the house, which sits in a clearing with open ground running ahead of it to the water with a most spectacular coastal aspect. The woodland, which encloses the holding on three sides, provides natural shelter and complete screening from neighbouring land.

The residence is a detached bungalow of approximately 132 sqm, built in the mid 1980's and currently carrying a C BER rating. The residence requires full renovation and modernisation throughout. For a purchaser with a clear vision, the house provides a workable single-storey footprint in a location that very rarely becomes available: the combination of floor area, layout, and setting gives a buyer the basis to create something truly distinctive.

Accommodation includes an entrance hall, living room, dining area, kitchen with pantry, study, utility room, and WC along with three bedrooms served by a bathroom and separate shower room. The house also incorporates an integrated garage and carport, providing useful covered area and storage.

The landholding extends to approximately 8.47 hectares (20.93 acres), held across two folios. The land is predominantly mature woodland, with amenity grassland between the house and the foreshore. The woodland provides both amenity and substantial privacy. A detached shed and greenhouse are also located on the site.

Kilcoe is a coastal townland between Skibbereen and Ballydehob, approximately 10km south-west of Skibbereen, sitting along the northern shore of Roaring Water Bay. The area is established as one of the most sought-after addresses in West Cork, valued for its dramatic coastline, exceptional water access and the relative scarcity of large private holdings at the water's edge.

Skibbereen town, with its full range of services, restaurants and weekly market, is approximately 10 to 15 minutes by car. Ballydehob village, with its cafes, pubs and artisan food scene, is also a short drive. Cork city and Cork Airport are approximately 90 minutes.
