Description

A pair of unique & distinctive residential properties with two private beaches in one of Ireland's most desirable coastal locations Lot 1: Breasty Bay House (About 9 acres / 3.6 hectares, About 100m of water frontage) Breasty Bay is an outstanding coastal property offering panoramic waterfront views with direct sea access and a private sandy beach. Built in the 1970's, this modern house has been comprehensively refurbished and extended by the current owners with outstanding entertaining and living space and accommodation extending to about 1,879 sq ft. A successful holiday rental business has been established for Breasty Bay, providing an attractive and established income generation letting business. Accessed via an electric gated entrance onto an internal driveway, this leads up to a parking area to the front of the house. The front porch opens into a stunning and inviting entrance hall with impressive panelling and tiling. The hall flows into the wonderful open plan kitchen and dining room. The bright and spacious kitchen is at the heart of the property and has gorgeous features including a kitchen island, hardwood parquet flooring, exposed wooden beams and a built-in double fronted aquarium which can be enjoyed from both the kitchen and the living room. French doors lead from the dining room to a terrace area outside. The living room features a wood burning stove, with a sunroom off this. The impressive proportions are continued throughout the house with three bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms. The first floor offers a versatile layout and includes an office/study with a Velux balcony window providing a picture-perfect view overlooking the bay. There is a bathroom upstairs which includes a toilet, bidet, washbasin unit, walk-in shower and a jacuzzi bath. There is also a useful storage room upstairs. Positioned to the side of the house is a garage and a boiler room which provide an additional 270 sq ft. The grounds extend to about 9 acres which were rewilded in 2017 and now provide a wonderful sense of peace and nature around the property. There is a large freshwater pond, between the house and the seafront, which is a very important habitat for the local wildlife. The lands mainly comprise grassland to the front of the house and includes about 100 metres of water frontage. A key feature is the direct access to a private beach which is complete with coastal rock features. Lot 2: Skildren Cottage on about 15 acres / 6 hectares, about 800m of water frontage) Skildren Cottage is an architecturally designed masterpiece believed to date from about 1969. Unique in design, it offers magnificent panoramic sea views and direct access to a private beach. A successful holiday rental business has also been established for the property. Accessed via the electric gated entrance, Skildren lies at the end of the internal driveway which extends to about 500m. The living accommodation comprises an open plan kitchen / sitting room which is ideally positioned to enjoy the views out towards the Atlantic Ocean. From the kitchen, sliding patio doors open out to a path leading down to the sea, while the dining room includes large windows offering magnificent waterfront views. A master bedroom suite with an en suite shower room is accessed off this living space. There are three further bedrooms including one en suite, and a shared bathroom on a connecting corridor. The accommodation extends to approximately 1,567 sq ft. The grounds extend to about 14.83 acres and comprise mostly hill grazing and shrubland which were rewilded in 2017. One of the most special and truly unique features of Skildren Cottage is direct access to a private beach which is complete with coastal rock features. It includes about 800 metres of water frontage. Skildren Cottage's private waterfront was used extensively for the filming of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with the iconic Millennium Falcon constructed on the peninsula. The Entire: Breasty Bay House & Skildren Cottage on about 55 acres / 22 hectares, 1,850m of water frontage) The entire holding is also being offered for sale, inclusive of Lots 1 and 2, plus an additional 31 acres. The additional land comprises extensive coastline and primarily consists of hill and low ground grazing land, in addition to private access over the driveway. The land rises to a high point of about 24 metres (79 feet) above sea level. The additional land primarily lies to the north and northwest of the property holding with the sea cliffs forming the northern boundary. The topography, coastal situation and habitat combine to create a haven for wildlife and the land, which was rewilded in 2017, offers an opportunity for conservation.
