Castle Co.Cork stands just two miles west of the renowned Castlemartyr Estate, offering a unique opportunity to inhabit an Irish tower house of the 16th century, notable for its enduring architecture and rich heritage. This castle, with 70 m² of living area set across three levels, is presented on a 2,023 m² plot secluded by an avenue of native trees. The property naturally evokes the spirit of the Geraldine or Fitzgerald family legacy, built as a western outpost for Castlemartyr in its time.
Extensive renovations have preserved the core character, introducing an oak floor, leaded glass and pyramid roof, bronze casement windows, modern plumbing, and discreet lighting. Accommodation flows from an arched north entry to mural limestone stairs, with three principal chambers taking in diffused light from three large windows and a series of smaller splayed openings. The main bedroom occupies the first floor, finished with a four-poster bed and elegant bath, continuing to living, dining, and a study under a glass-roofed second floor, complemented by a wood-burning stove and panoramic rural views. Two bathrooms and mural stairways with 55 steps serve the living quarters, while the battlements and roof terrace offer a contemplative retreat above the landscape.
The castle is minutes from Loughaderry lake and a short drive to Cork city, with world-class cultural venues, dining, and access to the Wild Atlantic Way. Nearby landmarks include the Jameson Distillery, Ballycotton Bay, and the heritage ports of Cobh. The property promises a rare balance of historic authenticity, spatial drama, and modernised comfort—a luxury castle for sale in Co.Cork suitable for the discerning collector seeking a singular Irish address.
