A “BREATHTAKING” property has hit the Irish market - and it features its own tower, four reception rooms, games room, sauna and a swimming pool.
Carrigacunna Castle is located in Carrigacunna, Killavullen, Co Cork.
The five-bedroom home, with five bathrooms, has an asking price of €2,500,000.
The seller said: “Carrigacunna is a breathtakingly restored Georgian house set alongside a beautifully preserved Norman tower house, both commanding a spectacular position overlooking the meandering River Blackwater in North Cork.”
Originally built by Henry Foott in 1826, the property has had an “exceptional transformation” over the last two decades.
Blending historical elements with contemporary design, with beautiful glass-walled spaces that “flood the interiors with natural light”.
It has two double-height glazed atriums, effortlessly linking the traditional architecture with modern design.
The property is built next to a 16th-century Norman tower house, which itself “holds centuries of history”.
The elevated house offers “panoramic views” of the Blackwater Valley, the Ballyhoura mountains and the Galtee mountains.
The home boasts four main reception rooms and three “luxurious” bedroom suites.
The agent suggested the first-floor offices could be converted into an additional bedroom, if desired.
Guests can stay in the one-bedroom annexe in the Fisherman’s cottage adjoining the main house.
The charming property is “expansive yet easily manageable living space”.
The agent said: “The estate is set in a peaceful and unspoiled region of the Blackwater Valley, an area renowned for its fertile farmland and natural beauty.
“The River Blackwater, considered one of Ireland’s finest salmon rivers, meanders through the landscape, with its banks dotted by historic Norman castles.
“The towns of Mallow and Fermoy are within easy reach, offering a full array of shopping, leisure, and financial services, alongside welcoming pubs and restaurants.”
Despite its rural location, the property has “excellent transport links”, with quick access to national road and rail networks.
There’s a selection of nearby activities including a golf course, racecourses and fishing spots.
The listing added: “Both Shannon and Cork airports are within an hour’s drive, making travel convenient for residents and visitors alike.
“For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers an array of sporting and leisure activities, including private fishing along the Blackwater, scenic hikes in Killarney’s lakes and mountains (just an hour away), and hunting with the Duhallow and Scarteen packs.
“Equestrian pursuits are well-catered for, with racecourses in Mallow and Killarney, while golfers can enjoy the abundance of high-quality courses in the region.”
The "remarkable" property is advertised on daft.ie and is being sold by Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty.
