Type: Residential

A 4 bedroom newly constructed 'L' shaped south-west facing detached one storey property on c. 2.5 acres located very close to the sea with wonderful sea views and just a short stroll to the Ahakista harbour (where moorings are readily available) and to the picturesque Air India Memorial Garden.  The property is not fully finished and the new owner will have the opportunity of completing it to suit his/her personal taste.  Planning permission has been secured for a detached garage.

LOCATION:

The property is situated just off the main Sheep's Head to Bantry road near the Ahakista harbour.  It is within walking distance of the sea, the jetty, the beautiful Air India gardens and two pubs!  There is a primary school and church in Ahakista.  Durrus village with its shops, bars and restaurants is 10 minutes by car and Bantry town is a 20 minute journey.  Cork city and airport are about 1.5 hours by car.  Local transportation to Bantry passes the property 3 days per week and the school bus to secondary schools in Bantry passes the house.

THE ACCOMMODATION:

The house is not fully finished and the owner has decided to leave it to the new owner to finish off the property to his/her own taste.  The block construction is complete and plastered inside and out and the internal walls are also of block construction and ready to be painted. The windows and exterior doors are in place. The house has been wired but the supply is not yet connected.  A deep bored well has been sunk but is not yet connected.  The first fix carpentry is complete. An exterior stone wall has been built at the front of the property.  Theowner has received an estimate of €100,000 from a builder to finish the construction (excluding landscaping).

The finished property - at a total cost of around €460,000 - is well below market value.
