A rare coastal property with direct access to the sea via a private slipway has come to market in Schull, West Cork. Set on an elevated site overlooking Schull Harbour and Roaringwater Bay, the 2-acre property includes a pebbled beach and sweeping sea views.

The location, in one of Ireland’s top sailing and boating destinations, offers immediate access to the water in a setting popular with marine leisure enthusiasts.

The house, measuring approximately 220 square metres, includes four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a sunroom.

It requires full renovation, but the site's waterfront position and size present significant development potential, subject to planning permission.

“There are a few sites along this coastline that offer direct water access and the space to reimagine a home of this scale,” the listing agent said. Located just outside Schull village, the property is within walking distance of local amenities, including shops, restaurants, and pubs.

Schull is known for its vibrant sailing scene, unspoiled beaches, and stunning coastal walks. The area supports a wide range of outdoor activities, including yachting, fishing, horse riding, and golf.

Cork International Airport is approximately 90 minutes away, providing convenient access to cities across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
