Inside ‘Med Jez’, a brand new €1.8m beach house that just hit the market in Fountainstown

Attention, seafaring millionaires.

If you’re on the hunt for a spacious base on Cork’s stunning coast, you might find what you’re looking for in the seaside resort of Fountainstown, just 15km from the city.

New to the market and guiding at €1.8m, Med Jez is a spectacular, architecturally designed, four-bedroom detached property boasting views of the Atlantic ocean from almost every room.

Set on a south-facing plot with direct access to the shoreline, this is a huge property (2,895 sq ft) laid out over three levels. Brand new and beautifully finished, its vast rooms are just waiting for a new owner to add the furniture and art that will make this house a home.

“Nestled just beneath the coast road, one arrives at a gradually descending sweeping driveway, lined with spotlighting and tasteful planting, coming to a stop at a large parking area with space for four cars and wired for an electric charging point.” says agent Michael O’Donovan of Savills.

“Making your way inside reveals a bright and spacious entrance that opens beautifully to an open plan kitchen/living/dining room. The size of this space is striking, whilst the entire width of the room is triple glazed in windows and sliding doors on the southern elevation.”

Indoor and outdoor space has been carefully considered, with three access points out to the sheltered deck area, which runs the width of the property and is enclosed with toughened glass.

“This is the perfect location to enjoy summer or winter evening, eyeing the coast with a gentle sea breeze creating a special atmosphere,” adds O’Donovan.

The remainder of the upper floor consists of a study/playroom and a guest loo.

On the lower level, a large open space and hallway lead to the sleeping accommodation, bathrooms, utility room and service room. All four bedrooms face south and overlook the ocean so you can wake up to views of ships making their way across the horizon.

Med Jez is within walking distance of sandy beaches, pubs and restaurants too – not that you’d ever want to leave.
