A handsome five-bedroom period residence with stables and traditional outbuildings, enjoying a coastal setting within walking distance of the beach, offered with approximately 10 acres, with two additional land lots of about 9 acres and 5.5 acres available.

A rare opportunity to acquire a historic country home in a private and elevated setting, with sweeping views, charming outbuildings and land offering exceptional flexibility. Steeped in equestrian heritage, Seaview Farm was the birthplace of the renowned Coosheen Connemara Pony Stud, founded here in 1960. Among its champions was the celebrated stallion Coosheen Finn, chosen in 1997 as the outstanding breeding stallion of his day and later honoured on an Irish postage stamp.

The period residence, believed to date back some 300 years, has retained its grace and character while evolving into a warm and practical family home. Recently fitted sash windows enhance the front façade, and from its prominent position the house enjoys fine views across the surrounding land, which gently falls away to the west. Extending to approximately 2,500 sq. ft., the accommodation strikes a pleasing balance between period elegance and everyday comfort, offering a layout well suited to modern family life.

Two well-proportioned reception rooms sit to the front of the house, each typical of their era in scale and style. To the rear, a kitchen and office provide everyday practicality, while to the side a living room and conservatory enjoy a sunny southerly aspect overlooking the gardens. Upstairs, five bedrooms and two bathrooms provide generous family accommodation, with a further bathroom conveniently located on the ground floor.

Beyond the house lies a courtyard of traditional stone-built stables and farm buildings, rich in character and history. A sheltered orchard, dotted with fruit trees and berry bushes, nestles to the rear, while small paddocks surrounding the residence add to the sense of privacy and rural charm.

Extending in total to approximately 24.5 acres, the period house is offered with approximately 10 acres surrounding the residence, together with two additional land lots of about 9 acres and 5.5 acres, each capable of being purchased individually or in combination, appealing to both residential and land-only purchasers. The residence is approached via a long private driveway, creating an attractive and discreet arrival through mature trees before opening into the courtyard. A second access, formerly the original entrance opposite the local school, provides additional convenience and flexibility.

Seaview Farm combines the romance of a period estate with the practicality of modern convenience. The school lies quite literally at the gate, the beach at Howe Strand is a short walk away, the village of Kilbrittain is just 5km away, the towns of Kinsale and Bandon are within easy reach and Cork city and airport are just 35km away, ensuring this rural haven remains well connected.

Services: Private well, septic tank, oil fired central heating and high speed broadband is available.
