Toormore House Ireland
View on Atlantic Ocean
Cottage in Cork, Ireland
Property Details
The house is in the most south- westerly part of Ireland, close to the village of Schull. It is right in front of the Atlantic Ocean with views of the world famous Fastnet Lighthouse as well as a 4000 year old stone tomb. Across the house is an intimate sandy beach.
The main house is cozy and comfortable. It has two floors and features open fires in every corner, handmade oak and pine furniture, black natural stone slabs and Persian carpets. Underfloor heating, bathrooms en suite, reading room, open fire sitting area and conservatory offer all the space and comfort to relax, enjoy a book or just the silence.
The house has several rooms but is ideal for two persons. There is a living room with wooden beam ceiling, open fire and a natural stonewall, a meditation room, a master bedroom and a guest bedroom.
Outbuildings can be used for different hobbies (such as painting) and are ideal for an artist. A wind protected mediterranean terasse with open fire is next to the kitchen.
A large handmade pitch-pine kitchen and glass conservatories, several fireplaces and cozy sitting and reading areas make this place very charming and special. Ocean view from every room. The house has its own well with fresh natural water.
An extensive collection of CD's, DVD's, books (English, Deutsch, Francais) and art make this place a place to relax and unwind.
This place is not for children: Original artwork, expensive Hifi systems, Persian carpets and handmade furniture are too delicate for children.
Local Area DetailsOver 15 years ago an artist and photographer came to work in the Southwest of Ireland. Finding peace and serenity and a refined lifestyle which can only be found in a few places on earth, he remained.
He found a place where one can still discover secret places, be enchanted by the grace of thousand year old forests, and explore ancient castles and stone circles, some dating back over 5000 years. Here where people still take the time to chat, it is possible to withdraw from the hectic modern life and to relax, be creative or even find oneself.
His house is located at the sunny South West Coast of Ireland, the most demanded area of Ireland. Cork airport is 50 miles away, the next little town (Schull) is 4 miles away.
It is surrounded by unspoiled nature on several acres of own coastal land, right at the Atlantic Ocean. All you see from the windows is the sky and the blue of the water, all you hear is the wind and the ocean.
Because of the Gulfstream, the climate is extremely mild (palm trees in front of the house) and most of the year is perfect for being outside.
Because this area is highly sought after by tourists (a sailors paradise) the coastal towns are bursting with charming pubs, first class restaurants, little shops and activities.
In short: If you want to withdraw and nourish your soul, be surrounded by cozy fireplaces, art, paintings, books, music and movies, handmade furniture, Persian carpets, a huge garden with palm trees, if you want to see, smell and feel the Ocean, breathe fresh air, hear nothing but the waves, this is the most amazing place to be.
