Description
Saltwinds is located in the scenic townland of Kealties on the Sheep's Head Peninsula near Bantry in West Cork. This beautifully renovated three-bedroom home enjoys idyllic views across Dunmanus Bay and the surrounding West Cork landscape extending towards the Mizen Peninsula. Positioned between the charming coastal villages of Durrus and Ahakista, the property offers a peaceful coastal setting with convenient access to the sea, local amenities and the renowned walking trails of the Sheep's Head Peninsula. Extending to approximately 149.71 sq.m., the property has been comprehensively renovated in 2025 and presents in true turn-key condition, effectively comparable to a new build. Every aspect of the house has been overhauled, including a complete rewire, new plumbing, upgraded insulation, new double-glazed windows and doors, a new slate roof with rebuilt chimney and a new oil-fired boiler and cylinder. Additional features include a smart remote controlled heating system, new water filtration system, comprehensive soundproofing throughout, upgraded drainage with a new septic tank & soakaway and modern water management directing rainwater safely away from the house. The interior is bright, welcoming and thoughtfully designed for modern living. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with a solid fuel stove, a utility room, guest WC with shower and a double bedroom with en-suite. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, both enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside and coastline. The gardens have been fully landscaped, providing a private and peaceful setting framed by mature trees and shrubs. A generous west-facing deck offers the perfect space for outdoor dining and relaxation while capturing the afternoon and evening sun. The property also includes a large garden shed for additional storage and an orchard garden providing space for vegetable beds or further landscaping. There would be space for a polytunnel for the gardening enthusiasts. Saltwinds combines tranquility and convenience. It is just a five-minute drive from Ahakista and within easy reach of Durrus, Bantry, Schull and Ballydehob offering access to excellent local amenities, restaurants, coastal activities and the slower pace of life that makes West Cork so special. Saltwinds represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, coastal home in immaculate, turn-key condition, perfectly suited as a full-time residence, holiday retreat or investment in one of Ireland's most beautiful coastal regions. Services: Private well water, septic tank drainage, oil fired central heating. Notice: Please note we have not tested any apparatus, fixtures, fittings, or services.
