Description

Hegarty Properties are privileged to present "Cotton Rock", a detached coastal residence occupying one of East Cork's most commanding and sought-after positions. Set on an elevated south-facing plateau extending to approximately 0.6 acres, this home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across Ballycotton Bay, Ballycotton Island, Capel Island, the iconic lighthouse and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Few homes command such an outstanding vantage point, where spectacular scenery, complete privacy and an unrivalled coastal setting combine so effortlessly. Originally constructed in 1968 and extended over the years, Cotton Rock extends to approximately 232 sq.m. (2,500 sq.ft.). Adding further appeal, the property offers direct pedestrian access from the rear gate onto the famous Ballycotton Cliff Walk, while the village itself is only a short stroll away via a private laneway. Beyond its exceptional lifestyle offering, the substantial site also presents future development potential (subject to the necessary planning permissions). The generous site configuration may accommodate an additional residential site and could also prove valuable as future access to adjoining lands, making this an increasingly rare long-term investment opportunity. Despite its peaceful setting, Cotton Rock is within walking distance of Ballycotton village with its renowned restaurants, cafés, pubs and harbour, while Ballymaloe House, Ballymaloe Cookery School and East Cork's beautiful beaches are only minutes away. Accommodation includes: Entrance Hallway, Living Room, Kitchen, Sun Room, Two Reception Rooms, Family Bathroom, 3 Double Bedrooms (1 Ensuite), First Floor Games Room/Studio with Bathroom, together extending to approximately 2,500 sq.ft. (232 sq.m.). Guide Price: €495, 000
