Ardaragh East, Bere Island, Co Cork

Savills are delighted to present Seahaven, an architecturally designed coastal home in Ardaragh East on beautiful Bere Island, West Cork. Set on approximately 1.3 acres, this secluded, south-facing property enjoys uninterrupted views across Lonehort Harbour and Bantry Bay towards the Sheep’s Head Peninsula. Combining a restored original dwelling with a substantial contemporary extension, Seahaven offers character, privacy and modern comfort in a remarkable island setting.

Completed in August 2026, the renovation and extension have created a beautifully finished four-bedroom home. The entrance hall connects the original house and new accommodation, bringing together the property’s heritage and its fresh contemporary design. At the heart of the home is a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, where a vaulted ceiling and feature beams create an inviting sense of height and openness. A handmade stone fireplace with a feature stove provides a striking focal point, while the newly fitted kitchen offers a practical setting for everyday living and entertaining. A separate laundry room and utility room provide valuable additional space, with Miele laundry appliances and a Siemens freezer among the fittings.

All four bedrooms are doubles, complemented by three elegantly tiled en suites with Mira Realm showers and matching sanitaryware. A Panasonic heat pump, ground-floor underfloor heating, cavity and internal wall insulation, and aluclad double-glazed windows support year-round comfort. The property holds an A BER rating, combining its coastal appeal with strong energy performance. Mains water and electricity, a new septic tank and percolation area, and existing 5G broadband add to its practical credentials.

Outside, the sheltered grounds offer privacy and space to enjoy the surrounding scenery. New entrance gates and pillars, a stone driveway with kerbing and an insulated Steeltech storage shed complete the setting. Lonehort beach and harbour are beside the property, while its position on the Beara Way walking route places coastal exploration on the doorstep. Walking, swimming, kayaking, sailing and fishing are all part of the lifestyle this location offers.

Bere Island combines a welcoming community with a rich maritime heritage, including Bronze Age monuments, Martello towers and the historic Lonehort Battery. The shop, Dessie’s Bar and post office are approximately 1.9 km away, with the ferry departure point just 2 km away. Regular year-round ferry services provide mainland connections, while Lawrence Cove Marina is approximately 2.5 km away. A primary school, cafés and sheltered Scairt beach further enhance island life.

Castletown-Berehaven, approximately 10.7 km away, offers further shops, restaurants and services, while Cork International Airport is approximately 126 km away. Mainland journeys include a ferry crossing, opening up the wider Beara Peninsula and its spectacular coastal scenery.

Whether sought as a permanent residence, a holiday home or a peaceful coastal retreat, Seahaven presents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy a newly completed home in one of West Cork’s most memorable settings.
