3 seaside homes with outrageous views (all on the market for less than €300k)
Still dreaming of a home by the sea?
The property market might be stormy waters at the moment, but if you’re willing to put in a little work, affordable homes in spectacular locations do exist.
From spacious fixer-uppers with outbuildings for extra workshop or studio space (or a little Airbnb biz in the future), to neat cottages that only require a little sprucing up to create a coastal hideaway, there’s plenty of choice in Cork right now.
Here are three homes with postcard-perfect views, all for sale at under €300,000:
The Mall, Guileen, Whitegate, Co. Cork
Asking price: €280,000
How would you like to survey the rolling sea over your morning coffee and enjoy dinner as you watch the sun sink beyond the waves? If that floats your boat, this two-bed home could be the beginning of your seaside fairytale.
There’s an open plan kitchen, living and dining area, utility room, a large attic, and private gardens.
“Although Guileen is slightly remote you still have the Guileen Arms Bar to visit as well as the nearby village of Whitegate which is only a five-minute drive and has amenities such as a EuroSpar, National School, Rowing club and Corkbeg AFC, which is also a beautifully kept Pitch and Putt course.” says agent, James Colbert of Colbert & Co.
Letter, Kilcrohane, Co. Cork
Asking price: €250,000
Built in the 1920s, this two-storey, six-bedroom period property is in need of renovation, but a new owner with vision will make the most of this pretty half acre with stunning sea views looking out across Dunmanus Bay to the wide open Atlantic.
Once a local shop, the property, located three miles beyond Kilcrohane village, has a detached stone barn suitable for conversion, and a two-storey rear extension was added in the 1950s.
Every room to the front of the house enjoys sweeping views to the sea.
Cliffside, Coast Road, Myrtleville, Crosshaven, Co. Cork
Asking price: €250,000
This three-bedroom detached home enjoys unobstructed, panoramic sea views over Myrtleville beach and out towards the outer Cork harbour and Roches Point.
While in need of modernisation, there’s a great balance of living and bedroom accommodation spread over two floors. The living room, kitchen/dining area, family bathroom and utility area are located on the ground floor and all three bedrooms and a loo are located on the first floor.
There’s a raised yard area to the rear and it’s all within walking distance of Myrtleville beach and Crosshaven village.
