The home at Snave Bay near Ballylickey – between Bantry and Glengarriff - offers unparalleled views of Bantry Bay and spectacular mountain scenery.

The 4/5 bed residence is architect designed and situated on a 3.4-acre plot of landscaped and woodland gardens.

 

This impressive family home was built in 2000 and extended in 2008, extending to 3,197sqft (297sqm) of living space with a bespoke kitchen and bathrooms, large picture windows, open fireplaces and premium finishes throughout.

The ground floor maximises the breathtaking views with an open plan kitchen, and a cosy snug and distinctive bay window.

 

Upstairs, the master suite includes a luxurious bathroom and walk-in wardrobe alongside three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property has oil-fired central heating with partial underfloor heating. The immaculate gardens combine mature specimen trees, colourful shrubs and flower beds with natural rocky outcrops.

 

Woodland paths lead directly to the tidal estuary of the Coomhola River, offering easy access for kayaking or other outdoor pursuits.

Snave Bay benefits from the Gulf stream and is celebrated for its natural beauty, small harbour and beach. Bantry and Glengarriff are both a 15-minute drive away.

Selling agent Sherry Fitzgerald O’Neill said: ‘A property of this quality, privacy and setting is exceptionally rare in West Cork. Offering a seamless blend of lifestyle, luxury and location, viewing is highly recommended for the discerning buyer.’
