For Sale by Private TreatyR6997

A unique and stunning private residence stand-ing on c. 2.5 acres with magnificent gardens and woodlands. The property occupies a prominent and elevated position, south facing with stunning views over Kinsale harbour. It is arguably the best and most private site on Kinsale Harbour. The views are breathtaking, taking in the whole 180 degree vista in this world renowned location. Views include historic Kinsale town to the right and scenic ocean views toward the Old Head of Kinsale to the left.

The house was totally rebuilt approximately 10 years ago and provides over 465 sq. mtrs (5,000 sq.ft.) of magnificently appointed accommodation.

Kinsale is located only 20 minutes from Cork Airport and 30 minutes from Cork city centre. It is one of Ireland’s most famous coastal towns. Steeped in history with its narrow streets influenced by the Spanish that remained after the famous Battle of Kinsale in 1601, Kinsale is a scenic town known as Ireland’s gourmet capital with a large range of top class restaurants and pubs. Kinsale is also well known for its beau-tiful harbour with excellent sailing facilities.

Golf is close by at the world renowned Old Head of Kinsale course as well as Farrangalway, both within a short distance of the town.

The patio off the Conservatory at the east side of the house is spacious and has water features that add to the ambiance of the area. It’s the perfect

place for reading the morning newspapers on sunny days or for afternoon tea. A lower patio on the south side of the house facing the water is shel-tered and a desirable place for evening cocktails on long summer nights

with daylight until 10:30 or later.

The Living Room with bay windows looks out to gardens at west side of The Palisades�

The dining room can be cozy for four diners or can easily accommodate up to a dozen dinner guests. While there is a fireplace, the water views are the winning focal points.

The living room has a spacious seating area to comfortably accommodate guests as well as small, intimate seating areas for reading or taking in the magnificent views.

James Fort is directly across the water from The Palisades on protected land, and to the east is star-shaped Charles Fort framing the entrance to historic and scenic Kinsale Harbour. The Harbour provides interest and beauty 24/7 whether it’s watching the sailors come in after a regatta with their multi-colored spinnakers filled with wind or seeing how the sunsets, moonlight, the tides and storms all create beauteous scenes year-round.

The garden was designed by renowned Irish Garden Designer, Brian Cross, whose own Lakemount Garden in Glanmire, Cork is called a flagship garden by the Royal Horticultural Society. Brian has selected plants to provide year-round enjoyment. The year-round flowers and foliage, along with the temperate West Cork climate and the spectacular setting, make a visit to the garden at The Palisades a most memorable experience.

Unusual borders of shrubs and herbaceous perennials make The Palisades garden a vibrant delight in any season. Steps lead to a screened summer house.
