About this property
Luxurious home on the Wild Atlantic Way - modern comfort, beautiful views
BigSky-Ardfield is a haven for those seeking a blend of comfort and luxury in beautiful West Cork.
Perched along the iconic Wild Atlantic Way in the peaceful coastal village of Ardfield, this elegant, architect-designed A-rated home enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views stretching from the Galley Head lighthouse to Toe Head beneath a vast Atlantic sky. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the interiors with natural light, framing West Cork’s rolling hills, dramatic coastline, and shimmering sea.
The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area flows seamlessly onto two spacious patios — ideal for sunset dining, relaxed morning coffee, or simply listening to birdsong and stormy distant waves. The well-equipped kitchen features a large island, while an integrated fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere to the main living space on cooler evenings. In addition, a separate ground-floor TV/reading room provides a quiet, comfortable retreat — perfect for unwinding with a book or enjoying a film away from the main living area. Upstairs, all three generously proportioned bedrooms share the same captivating coastal vistas.
Designed for both comfort and sustainability, the house features underfloor heating throughout, a heat pump providing heating and hot water, and a ventilation system with heat recovery. A separate utility room includes a freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer, and the covered carport is fitted with an EV charger for added convenience.
Ideally located just minutes from some of West Cork’s finest beaches — including Inchydoney’s Blue Flag beach, Red Strand, and Long Strand — the home is also close to the vibrant town of Clonakilty, renowned for its food, traditional music, and lively pub culture.
Cork Airport is one hour away, with Cork City Centre and the Port of Cork Ferry Terminal just over an hour by car. The property is perfectly positioned for exploring the iconic Ring of Kerry as well as the best of West Cork, including Baltimore and its nearby islands, the breathtaking Beara, Sheep’s Head and Mizen Head Peninsulas
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.
