Privately nestled on over 4 acres of lush gardens and mature woodland, Blackwater Mill is a magnificent country residence that combines historical charm with modern sustainability. Originally the site of a flour mill dating back to 1805 and later converted to a linen mill in 1902, this remarkable home now extends to approximately 7,200 sq. ft and has been meticulously restored and enhanced to offer refined country living with every modern convenience
A private driveway leads through impressive stone boundary walls, remnants of the original mill estate and opens to beautifully maintained grounds, offering a striking first impression and a true sense of arrival. The estate exudes timeless character while providing contemporary features such as an EV charging station, thermal solar system, smart-home technology, and a highly efficient BER B3 energy rating.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a grand yet welcoming interior that blends beautiful finishes with sleek modern details. The main living space is thoughtfully arranged for both family living and entertaining. A bespoke kitchen serves as the heart of the home, with high-end fittings, generous workspaces, and access to a composite wraparound deck. Adjoining the kitchen is a 12-seat private dining room with a custom-built bar, ideal for hosting intimate gatherings or large-scale celebrations.
The residence offers six spacious double bedrooms, three of which are ensuite. Each bedroom enjoys peaceful views of the surrounding landscape and gardens, with the primary suite benefiting from added privacy and modern bathroom finishes. In total, the home features five bathrooms and an additional guest WC, all tastefully finished.
Downstairs, the expansive basement presents a rare level of versatility and leisure. This space includes a gym, sauna, and a games area complete with a pool table, offering an indulgent retreat for wellness and recreation without ever leaving home.
Further enhancing the property are warm American walnut floors, a dedicated boot room, and a large laundry area. Every detail of Blackwater Mill has been carefully curated to provide the perfect balance between luxury and comfort, with energy-efficient systems and high-spec insulation ensuring long-term sustainability and low running costs.
Only 50km from Cork City and situated in the heart of North Cork's scenic countryside, Blackwater Mill represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully restored historic residence that offers grandeur, privacy, and 21st-century living in equal measure.
