Extended Farmhouse For Sale in Co. Cork

With views towards the magnificent Fastnet Rock, coastline and rugged countryside, this south facing property is set on approximately 2 acres and is a great example of blending the traditional and modern technology.

Situated less than 2km from Goleen village and a 10-minute drive from the beautiful blue flag Barleycove Beach, this is a great opportunity to acquire a wonderful property situated in an idyllic coastal setting.

The original farmhouse dates back to the mid-19th century but has been extended over the years. Measuring c. 2,000 sq ft, the accommodation consists of a spacious lobby, large living/dining room, study, conservatory, kitchen, utility room and wc on the ground floor, with 3 double bedrooms, one with ensuite bathroom, and a large family bathroom on the first floor.

The dwelling is designed to take advantage of the enviable position boasting wonderful views from the main reception rooms and two of the bedrooms. All of the reception rooms generate a warm restful atmosphere with their natural slate tiles and decorative ceilings.

The living/dining room, the largest room in the house has an open fire and exposed ceiling beams. There is a lovely contrast between the white painted walls, dark tiles and ceiling. The study, which was converted from a stable, is a lovely cozy room with an in-built stove, exposed brickwork walls and high vaulted ceiling, while the conservatory is a bright room where you can admire the beautifully landscaped grounds. Both the conservatory and the living/dining room open out to the paved terrace.

One of the most remarkable features of the house is its B2 energy rating. The current owner put a special emphasis on an environmentally friendly energy supply by installing solar panels and a heat pump.

The grounds are a most outstanding attribute, designed by the owner with great care and attention. Boasting a swimming pond, a viewing tower, meandering paths, bespoke sculptures and a wide variety of plants; the gardens are a hidden paradise. The swimming pond which is fed by a circulation pump is a most unique feature and can be used all year round. Measuring 450 sqm, the pond is 40 metres long, 15 metres wide and has a wooden deck. The viewing tower enjoys panoramic views over the coastline and countryside. The array of plants consists of palm trees, roses, hydrangeas and rhododendrons.

The property also features a large outbuilding which combines a car port, a room with water tank and heat pump and an area for tools and storage. On the garden side of the building is a sauna and relaxation room where one can take in the stunning views. Another feature is the outdoor hot and cold shower which is located just outside the sauna.

There is a stone outbuilding located behind the house which was previously granted permission for conversion to make extra residential accommodation and there is a wine store which is attached to the house.

Goleen is a charming village located on the Wild Atlantic Way. It has a shop, pubs and eateries, e-centre and community hall for local activities. Mizen head, Ireland’s most South-westerly point and popular tourist attraction, is also nearby.
