Dreaming of setting up home by the sea?

Crosshaven might just be the place for you. Tucked at the mouth of Cork Harbour, this charming coastal town perfectly blends relaxed seaside living with a lively maritime spirit.

Home to the world’s oldest yacht club, the Royal Cork Yacht Club, it’s a haven for sailing enthusiasts and anyone who loves the water.

Beyond its nautical roots, Crosshaven is bursting with character — think cosy cafés, friendly pubs, and restaurants serving up the freshest local seafood. You can wander through history at Camden Fort Meagher, watch seals lounging by the shore, or enjoy a peaceful stroll or cycle along the scenic 10km Greenway that connects Crosshaven to Carrigaline.

And now, three unique homes with spectacular sea views are up for sale — each offering a front-row seat to everything this beautiful town has to offer.

The Presbytery, Upper Road, Crosshaven, Co. Cork

Asking price: €320,000

Sitting high on the hill with commanding views out over Crosshaven, The Presbytery is a three bedroomed period home with tons of character. It even gets a mention in The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.

Built overlooking the Owenboy River in the late nineteenth century, these houses are thought to have been associated with St. Bridget’s Roman Catholic church to the south, and were probably built as parochial house.

It needs some work to improve the F energy rating, but a buyer with an eye for detail will note the original mosaic tiled entrance hall, decorative cornicing and ceiling roses, extensive floor to ceiling heights and expansive windows.

Point Cottage, Point Road, Crosshaven, Co. Cork

Asking price: €450,000

This coastal three-bed is perched on Point Road, boasting panoramic views across Cork Harbour, Currabinny, and the Royal Cork Yacht Club — some of the most spectacular waterfront vistas in the region.

Originally built circa 1900 and sympathetically rebuilt in 2019, the main cottage seamlessly blends character with modern comforts with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, leading through to a cosy living room — all designed to maximise light and showcase the breathtaking seascapes.

With four bedrooms and two bathrooms, this wonderfully private property was built in 1903 and offers a wraparound deck with an unrivalled outlook across the open sea.
