A five-bedroom waterfront home with direct sea access has come to the market at Oysterhaven, near Kinsale, for €1,750,000.

Known as The Anchorage, the detached property sits on the Kinure headland within a recognised sailing centre, with 65 metres of shoreline and its own private slipway.

The house occupies a west-facing site of about 2.8 acres overlooking Oysterhaven Bay and the Sovereign Islands.

A pebble beach is exposed at low tide, while the slipway provides deep-water access, one of only three such private facilities on the headland.

Savills, which is marketing the property, said the home is “a distinctive waterfront residence set into the natural landscape”.

The 266 sq m house is built into the hillside, using a split-level design to maximise sea views from all main rooms.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the principal living areas to the bay, with a conservatory leading onto a large deck above the water.

All five bedrooms face the gardens and coastline, with the main bedroom enjoying dual aspects and an en suite.

Two planning permissions are in place, allowing for either an extension or a replacement dwelling, subject to conditions.

The property has a BER rating of D1 and is located a short sail from Kinsale Harbour.
