Magnifica Casa Privata A Cork, Irlanda

Hegarty Properties is delighted to present Rathóg to the market, an exceptional detached family residence of approximately 444.9 sq m (4,789 sq ft), set within beautifully landscaped grounds of c. 0.74 acre at Ballintubber, perfectly positioned between Midleton and Carrigtwohill and minutes from Fota Island Resort.

Taking its name from an old ringfort in the locality, Rathóg was built in 2008 to exacting standards, with no expense spared. Its striking stone and render façade, arched entrance and granite window sills give the house real presence on approach, while inside, a clever split-level design, mezzanine landing and varied ceiling heights create a home that feels both grand and genuinely welcoming.

The heart of the home is the magnificent kitchen/dining room, with hand-crafted Celtic Interiors solid oak units, granite worktops, a Stanley range and a raised dining area, flowing through to a cosy snug with a newly installed wood-burning stove. A double-height marble hallway with a solid teak staircase with an elegant runner, a generous dual-aspect living room and a triple-aspect studio/office complete a ground floor made for family life and entertaining alike.
Upstairs, four double bedrooms include a superb principal suite with a private balcony overlooking the countryside, a walk-in dressing room and en suite. A second-floor XL playroom offers wonderful flexibility for growing families, teenagers or work-from-home living.

Rathóg has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully upgraded by the current owners – including a new boiler (2025), new bunded oil tank (2024), whole-house water filtration, new high-pressure water pump (2026), new contemporary lighting (2025) and a newly installed wood-burning stove and atomiser fire– so the next owners can simply move in and enjoy.

Outside, electric gates open onto a sweeping, lit driveway and mature, fully landscaped gardens with a westerly rear aspect, a paved patio, built-in BBQ area and a bespoke waterfall – a private, idyllic countryside setting just minutes from the N25.
