Private Retreat For Sale in Co. Cork

Set in an exceptionally peaceful and private location just 5km from the renowned harbour village of Baltimore, this charming detached residence sits on just under 15 acres of completely natural, uncultivated land, offering a rare opportunity to secure a true coastal haven in the heart of West Cork.

The property includes a two-storey residence of c. 110 sqm, originally constructed in the early 20th century and thoughtfully extended in the early 2000s. The current layout provides two generously sized bedrooms, with excellent potential to reconfigure into a three-bedroom home if desired. With a C1 BER, the residence offers an efficient and comfortable living environment with scope for further enhancement. The ground floor benefits from underfloor heating, adding to the sense of warmth and comfort throughout.

What truly sets this property apart is the land: fully fenced, entirely natural, and rich in native flora, it has never been cultivated. This offers enormous potential for rewilding, conservation, or simply enjoying as an expansive private retreat. There are spectacular views from parts of the land across Baltimore Harbour to Sherkin and Cape Clear Islands, subtly anchoring the property in its dramatic maritime setting.

Baltimore itself is one of the most desirable coastal villages in West Cork, known for its bustling summer atmosphere, sailing heritage, and access to the islands of Roaring Water Bay. Nearby Lough Hyne, Ireland`s first designated marine nature reserve, is a haven for swimmers, kayakers and nature lovers, offering a unique ecosystem surrounded by scenic woodland trails.

The market town of Skibbereen, located just a short drive away, provides excellent shopping, schools, and cultural amenities, as well as a vibrant weekly farmers’ market.

This location combines rural tranquillity with proximity to some of the most celebrated natural and social amenities in the region. Rarely does a property of such potential, privacy, and natural beauty come to the market in this location.
