Carrigdhoun Quay

Carrigdhoun Quay is a uniquely positioned coastal residence occupying one of the most desirable waterfront settings in West Cork. Situated in the picturesque Ballylickey area on the western outskirts of Bantry Town, this charming bungalow-style home enjoys a spectacular location on the shores of Bantry Harbour, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a property with direct access to one of Ireland's most beautiful natural harbours.

Set on a mature site extending to approximately 0.44 acres, the property commands an enviable position with frontage onto the tranquil inner reaches of Bantry Bay. The grounds gently lead to the water's edge, allowing direct access to the harbour and creating an exceptional connection between the residence and its stunning coastal surroundings. Mature planting and established boundaries enhance the sense of privacy while providing a beautiful natural setting from which to enjoy the ever-changing seascapes and spectacular views across the bay.

The residence itself is full of character and charm, retaining many of its original features and architectural characteristics. The accommodation offers comfortable living space with enormous potential for enhancement and reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents. While the property would benefit from modernisation and upgrading to meet contemporary standards and requirements, it presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers to create a truly exceptional waterfront home tailored to their own tastes and lifestyle.

The property's dual frontage onto both Bantry Harbour and the main Bantry to Glengarriff Road ensures excellent accessibility while maintaining its unique coastal appeal. Its strategic location places it within easy reach of the many amenities and services available in Bantry Town, including schools, shops, restaurants, cafés, healthcare facilities and leisure amenities. The renowned village of Glengarriff, gateway to the Beara Peninsula and home to the famous Garnish Island, is also just a short drive away.

The surrounding area is celebrated for its outstanding natural beauty, with the Wild Atlantic Way, Sheep's Head Peninsula and Beara Peninsula all within easy reach. Sailing, fishing, kayaking, hill walking and a host of outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed directly from the property's doorstep, making it an ideal base for those seeking an active coastal lifestyle.

Properties with direct waterfront access and such a privileged setting rarely come to the market in this highly sought-after part of West Cork. Carrigdhoun Quay combines a magnificent harbour-front location, mature grounds, immense character and significant potential, creating a unique opportunity to acquire and restore a residence of distinction in one of Ireland's most scenic coastal regions.
