River of Dreams: Your own private mooring and an infinity pool in Kinsale for €1,600,000
Misty Moorings also has an extra self-contained apartment.
CORK IS WELL-KNOWN as a haven for water sports lovers, keen gardeners and basically anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. If you and your family fall into any of these categories, then Misty Moorings should pique your interest.
This five-bed home is a slice of paradise in busy Kinsale. It overlooks the water as it’s nestled on the southern banks of the River Bandon. Misty Moorings is surrounded by over an acre of landscaped gardens while making the most of the super water views. A private and comfortable retreat, it has a heap of luxury features that will get you out of the house to enjoy nature.
Inside, the home strikes a balance between grandeur and cosiness with a spacious sunlit living room, a south facing sunroom and a dining room that frames the views.
The kitchen, which was updated this year, is filled with high-end appliances and ample workspace. It’s also complemented by a handy larder for extra storage.
The ground floor main bedroom is an ideal private retreat for guests as it comes complete with an en suite bathroom. There are three more bedrooms upstairs that provide plenty of space for family and extra guests. A dedicated home office is the icing on the cake.
Adjacent to the main house is a one-bed 60 m² garden apartment. With its open plan layout, private garden area and panoramic views, there’s no doubt it will be popular with guests who are staying a while. Above the apartment, a versatile studio space could be used as a gym, office or creative retreat.
Currently self-contained, the next owners could seek planning permission to connect the apartment and main house, which certainly enhances the potential of this property.
The lush, mature gardens are a botanical heaven with apple and plum trees, Scots pines, vibrant hydrangeas and delicate cherry blossoms. Whether strolling through the greenery or enjoying the tranquility from the infinity pool’s deck, every corner of this outdoor space has been well-thought-out when it comes to merging design with natural beauty.
The whole site is accessed through a gated entrance, combining exclusivity with practicality and safety. One of its most stand-out features is the private boat mooring that offers direct access to Kinsale Harbour.
As well as outdoor sports, Kinsale is also celebrated for its great dining scene, craft breweries and rich history. With plenty to do, from boating to equestrian activities and plenty of choice when it comes to local schools and amenities, this family home ticks so many boxes. It’s also a mere 2.5 km from Kinsale town, so whoever buys this home is guaranteed a peaceful riverside setting within reach of everything they need for their new life in Co Cork.
