Douglas Dream Home: Ravenscourt House hits the market at a cool €4m

By Yay Cork August 29, 2025August 28, 2025

Ready to start spending your EuroMillions win?

If a palatial pad in Cork City is top of your shopping list, a stunning period mansion in Douglas might fit the bill.

With seven bedrooms, a cinema room, an outdoor pavilion and epic views, Ravenscourt House on the Well Road, a Georgian home built around 1790, has hit the market, guiding at a cool €4,000,000.

Estate agent Trevor O’Sullivan of Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty (Cork), who is handling the sale, explains that the magnificent home is perfectly positioned to capture panoramic views due south over the Douglas River Estuary and the lush greens of the local golf course.

“The views from the principal rooms are simply spectacular, offering a serene and timeless backdrop to everyday living.” he said.

“From sunrise to sunset, natural light floods the interiors, thanks to the home’s thoughtful orientation and expansive sash windows, which have been faithfully preserved.”

The house has undergone a meticulous restoration in recent years, with every effort made to retain its original character and period detailing. Decorative cornicing, ceiling roses, working fireplaces, timber flooring all remain in superb condition.

The heart of the home is its bespoke David Kiely kitchen, which boasts high-quality cabinetry, top-end appliances, and thoughtful detailing.

The accommodation is extensive, with generously proportioned reception rooms, seven spacious bedrooms, and five luxurious bathrooms.

Set on 1.4 acres behind secure electronic gates, this property offers total privacy and a rare sense of calm so close to the city. Think sweeping lawns, mature trees, and an outdoor pavilion with limestone paving, a retractable roof for sunny days, and heaters for year-round entertaining – the perfect spot for gatherings or simply soaking up the peaceful surroundings.

Ravenscourt House couldn’t be better placed, just minutes from Cork city, Douglas Village, and Blackrock Marina. With cafés, restaurants, shops, and sporting clubs nearby – plus top schools like St. Anthony’s and Eglantine close at hand – it’s a location that ticks every box for families and city lovers alike.
