Description

Dunard is a unique live–work opportunity: a charming detached period country home with log cabin and high-spec boarding kennels on approx. 1.1 acres, enjoying a mature woodland setting complete with a large natural pond, yet within easy reach of Knockraha village, Glanmire and Cork City. The extensive woodland creates its own sheltered micro-climate, giving a peaceful, healthy environment that would lend itself naturally to a wellness retreat or similar use, subject to any required consents. Originally built c.1890 and renovated c.2000, it blends character, modern comfort and a ready-made business base.[1] The main house (approx. 146 sq m) offers a fully fitted kitchen, sitting room with patio doors to a veranda overlooking the water, home office, bedroom 1 and downstairs bathroom, with two bedrooms and main bathroom upstairs. The master bedroom has a balcony with views over the grounds, kennels and woodland. The house is in excellent condition and features a C2 BER, oil-fired central heating, PVC windows, private well and bio-cycle unit. Outside, meandering pathways wind through mature woodland, creating a tranquil, “get-away-from-it-all” oasis where you are surrounded by trees and birdsong and truly feel like you are living in the country. The veranda overlooking the natural pond, kitchen garden for growing your own vegetables and the ability to live, work and relax entirely on your own grounds give a strong self-contained lifestyle feel. Log cabin , currently used for storage, sits within this woodland setting and offers excellent potential for guest accommodation, studio, office, wellness studio or dedicated cattery space (subject to consents). The purpose-built boarding kennels complex (2008) was designed to a high standard in line with European guidelines, with a strong emphasis on animal comfort and ease of maintenance. It comprises 18 indoor kennels, each with over-roofed outdoor runs, three special care units, kitchen, office, toilet, loft space, a large indoor multi-purpose room and two storage units, all within secure fencing and with a large training/exercise yard. This is an ideal set-up for a thriving boarding business and could also suit a cattery, specialist training centre or other animal/veterinary or pet wellness uses, subject to planning as required. Knockraha village, with primary school, church, pub, GAA and soccer facilities and community hall, is only a short drive away. Glanmire, with its broader range of services and amenities, is also easily accessible and benefits from a regular bus service into Cork City, with Carrigtwohill and Cork City likewise convenient for commuting and services. Cork airport is a 25 minute drive, the nearest beach is 35 minutes away and the motor way is a 10 minute drive.
