JUST A FIVE minute stroll from the vibrant centre of Kinsale, Watersland is a new collection of architecturally designed houses that offer a modern life on the coast. Combining bold design with intelligent functionality, this boutique development confirms why house hunters find this area in Cork so desirable.
Kinsale has long been celebrated for its charming harbour, gourmet dining and cultural heritage. Watersland capitalises on its location, offering a rare blend of serenity and accessibility. Just 25 minutes from Cork city and the airport, it provides the ideal setting for those seeking both an escape and a connection.
Set on the edge of town, Watersland brings nature and convenience into harmony. Whether you’re enjoying a morning walk along the waterfront or popping into town for a coffee, everything is within easy reach.
The current phase introduces five detached five-bed homes, each extending across three floors and finished to architectural standards. With an A2 BER, underfloor heating on the ground level and premium materials throughout, these properties marry efficiency with elegance.
Inside, the homes are a masterclass in spatial awareness. Expansive yet warm, the open plan living, dining and kitchen area is zoned to encourage both flow and comfort. Thoughtful design cues — such as split-level flooring, internal glass partitions and floor-to-ceiling glazing — create a strong sense of continuity and natural light, particularly from the south facing aspect.
Upstairs, flexibility is key. Buyers can opt for a luxurious main suite on the first floor or claim the entire top floor as a primary bedroom. Or, the upper level can be adapted to include a home office alongside a fifth bedroom, appealing to those who work remotely or anyone with long staying friends and family.
Each A2 House Type offers about 225 sq. meters of living space. They all have underfloor heating on the ground floor and then radiators upstairs. Alu-clad windows, with floor-to-ceiling glass features in key spaces.
Outside has Capri bespoke brick and pre-coloured render for a low-maintenance exterior. The landscaping is natural stone and includes Liscannor stone walling.
Buyers will receive homes to a high builder’s finish, with kitchens, wardrobes, stoves, flooring and tiling excluded — allowing for customisation to individual tastes.
Watersland is an opportunity to live sustainably in one of Ireland’s most popular coastal towns.
