Drombeg House is one of West Cork’s most distinguished period residences, offering an exceptional combination of history, privacy, luxury and coastal beauty in the heart of one of Ireland’s most sought-after locations.
Dating from 1666, this beautifully restored six-bedroom country estate extends to approximately 480 sq.m. (5,167 sq.ft.) and is set within 8 acres of mature private grounds overlooking the stunning coastline near Glandore.
Approached through electronic gates and framed by historic stone piers, the property immediately impresses with its classical façade, restored ashlar limestone chimneys and commanding position within the landscape. Carefully renovated from the original stone walls upwards, Drombeg House has undergone an extensive programme of restoration and modernisation, including a new roof, rewiring, replumbing, insulation, Georgian-style timber sash windows and doors, underfloor heating and high-quality finishes throughout.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes elegant reception rooms, a substantial study, a spectacular bespoke Neptune kitchen with Everhot range and adjoining pantry, five luxurious bedrooms within the main residence, beautifully appointed marble bathrooms and a magnificent principal suite enjoying coastal views. The interiors successfully blend period character with contemporary comfort, creating a home equally suited to family living and entertaining on a grand scale.
The grounds are a defining feature of the estate. A historic one-acre walled garden provides a remarkable backdrop and offers exciting potential for gardening, cultivation or further landscaping. Additional accommodation is provided by a charming self-contained one-bedroom gate lodge, while the traditional stable block, barn, garage and former sand arena make the property particularly attractive to equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking extensive ancillary facilities.
Ideally positioned just minutes from Glandore Harbour, Union Hall and Tralong Beach, Drombeg House enjoys easy access to some of Ireland’s finest sailing waters, coastal walks, golf courses and fishing grounds. The famous Drombeg Stone Circle, one of Ireland’s most important archaeological sites, lies nearby, while the vibrant market towns of Skibbereen and Clonakilty are within easy reach. Cork International Airport is approximately one hour away.
Rarely does a property of such historical significance, scale and quality come to the market. Drombeg House represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a landmark coastal estate along the Wild Atlantic Way, combining heritage, luxury and an unrivalled West Cork setting.
