Set against the rolling hills of West Cork, just 5.5km from Skibbereen, this enchanting farmhouse has been lovingly transformed into something truly special. Spanning 2,000 sq. ft. of luxury living, the home balances the soul of a traditional farmhouse with the elegance and comfort of modern design, creating a place where old-world charm and contemporary style meet in perfect harmony.

Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights and cleverly placed windows bathe each room in sunshine, while exposed beams and stonework whisper stories of the past. The interiors have been finished with impeccable taste, every detail carefully considered to create a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply welcoming.

The accommodation is as practical as it is beautiful, with four generously sized bedrooms, two of which feature their own freestanding bathtubs for an added touch of indulgence. Two mezzanine areas bring a unique sense of openness and connection, giving the house its distinctive character. The reception rooms provide ample space for family life and entertaining. Although it shines as a wonderful family home, the layout has a clever twist: by simply closing one door, the property can be divided into two self-contained units. This versatility has already proved valuable, having been successfully used as a high-end holiday let in recent years.

Outside, the magic continues. Each wing of the house opens onto its own decked terrace, each with a hot tub discreetly built in, the perfect place to soak under the stars and lose yourself in the peace of the surrounding countryside. Mature trees frame the grounds, offering both privacy and shelter.

Yet this is no remote hideaway. While it feels a world away from the bustle, the convenience is undeniable. Skibbereen is just five minutes by car, Ballydehob and Schull are within easy reach, and Clonakilty, Cork city and the airport are all comfortably accessible. It is rare to find a home that combines such tranquillity with such practicality, and rarer still one that does so with such flair.

More than just a house, this is a lifestyle, a private haven filled with warmth and character, where every corner tells a story and every day feels touched with a little magic. Whether you dream of a stylish family home, a countryside retreat, or a place that can provide both joy and income, this farmhouse is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the heart of West Cork.
