SALE OF A MAGNIFICENT WATERFRONT RESIDENCE KNOWN AS DUCK ROCK IN A SUPERB LOCATION AT GURTEENROE, BANTRY, WEST CORK.
On the waterfront between Ballylickey and Bantry there is a very special country house and gardens that enjoy extensive private waterfrontage. Inspired by the substantial skillset and life experience of the current owners, Duck Rock was redesigned, extended and completely refurbished to exemplary standards. Complete with private entrance courtyard and detached garage/boathouse the property sits on a beautifully balanced ca. 1 acre site. The setting is private, peaceful and yet still extremely convenient, the grounds are a total joy to behold.
The front terrace/patio offers a sloped walkway to the glorious lake front and is interspersed with vibrant gardens, orchards/fruit and vegetables also flourishing in the fertile settings. An independently separate road entrance has been added to provide access to the boat yard and launching pad. The swans and ducks are part of the inventory as too is a sleeping fresh water crocodile!!
The quiet country laneway splits the 1 acre in two sections with the southern gardens offering great privacy and security. Upon entering from the west wing there is a lobby/boot room with adjoining guest wc. The large open plan living room has a wonderful warm ambience, with impressive windows overlooking the gardens and lake shore. The kitchen dining room combines both traditional features with a modern elegance. By design the next wing leads itself into a self catering ground floor guest apartment but can easily blend back into the overall residence. The character filled residence has three further first floor bedrooms, a study overlooking the waterfront, family bathroom and separate shower room.
