It’s an unforgettable part of the world.

If you’ve ever visited Glengarriff, you probably still talk about it. Possibly too often. It’s just that kind of place — memorable, magical, and  hard to leave behind. But what if you didn’t have to?

Enter Quayside — a charming two-bedroom woodland hideaway in Furkeal, 2.5km from Glengarriff village, now on the market for €269,000.

This isn’t your average rural retreat. It comes with peace, quiet, and views that will stop you mid-scroll.

Perched on an elevated site overlooking the famous Garinish Island and Glengarriff Harbour, this bright 63 sqm home makes excellent use of every square metre.

Big windows, double doors, and clever layouts ensure the scenery is always the star of the show — whether you’re cooking breakfast or pretending to write your novel.

There’s a cosy sitting/dining area with a solid fuel stove, a fitted kitchen, utility room, two spacious bedrooms, and a bathroom. Step outside and you’ll find a sunny terrace for coffee mornings, lazy lunches, or dramatic birdwatching sessions with a good pair of binoculars.

Bonus: there’s a basement garage, ideal for storing kayaks, garden gear, or the clutter you promised to declutter.

“Enjoying a sheltered, sunny aspect, Quayside is ideally located just 2.5km west of Glengarriff,” says Olivia Hanafin of Sherry FitzGerald O’Neill, who’s managing the sale. “Glengarriff itself is a scenic, historic village on the Wild Atlantic Way, nestled between Bantry and Kenmare.”

Known for its postcard-worthy beauty, Glengarriff offers water sports, lush nature reserves, boat trips to Garinish Island, lovely pubs and all the peaceful escapism your urban-weary soul could wish for.
