The property showcased in this site is based in the Rossbrin Cove area of West Cork, which is a small townland about 100km (62 miles) from Cork City ~ the European Capital of Culture in 2005.

Rossbrin Cove is a beautiful sheltered inlet on the south-west coast of Ireland, with the famous Fastnet Rock and Lighthouse just 8 nautical miles off-shore.

Approximately equal distance from Rossbrin are the villages of Schull and Ballydehob (about 5km away). Schull is renowned for its sailing and features a sparkling harbour dotted with sailing and fishing boats. Whilst Ballydehob has a reputation for the arts and is home to several writers, artists, sculptors and craft workers. The actor Jeremy Irons has a small castle not far from the area.

Both Schull and Ballydehob have a range of excellent restaurants serving fresh local produce. There are also many cafes and traditional pubs in the area ... some of which play host to live music in the evenings.

Sporting activities are aplenty, with superb sailing, fishing and diving all on your doorstep. If water is not your thing, there is Coosheen golf course a few minutes away or the Ballycumisk riding school adjacent to Rossbrin harbour.

This is a place of natural beauty and it is not surprising that the favourite 'sport' for many people is just exploring the country lanes, numerous small coves, piers and sandy beaches in the vicinity. Further afield, there are beautiful islands to explore, such as Castle Island, Sherkin or Cape Clear.

All things said, the Rossbrin Cove area provides an idyllic location for a holiday, retirement or re-location home.
