About this property

Beautiful Country Home located on 31 acres overlooking Bearhaven Harbour

Beautiful country home sitting on 31 acres of beautiful Irish countryside just 10 minutes outside of Castletown Berehaven on the famous Ring of Beara. Home is well appointed, comfortable and makes for a wonderful family getaway. The property is just a 200 meter walk from the shoreline of the famous and scenic Bearhaven Harbor for those interested in fishing or a nice refreshing swim. Winding throughout the property are several kilometers of hiking paths for those interested in exploring the property or just taking a peaceful walk through the woods. The home is overlooked by Hungry Hill, part of the Caha Mountain range for the more adventurous hikers and those seeking breathtaking views of the Bearhaven Harbor, Bantry Bay, Bere Island and a good segment of the Beara Peninsula. For the shoppers in your group, there are many small arts and craft shops nestled in the small towns throughout the Ring of Beara. There are many wonderful local restaurants, most featuring locally caught seafood fresh from the fishing vessels that call Castletown home. Whether it is hiking, fishing, shopping or just enjoying the peace and quiet, you will find Sandmount to be the perfect destination for you family vacation.

A comfortable and spacious home in beautiful peaceful setting
Sandmount offers everything you could need. The way to describe it is as a family home where the owners have just popped out. You never know when self catering whether you should bring your own salt, pepper, washing up liquid, etc but literally everything - and more - was available. In addition, there were plenty of Irish reference and guide books, maps, leaflets for local attractions, and also a selection of games. The beds were really comfortable and good showers with plenty of towels. The view across the bay is stunning, and the short walk to the beach. Definitely the best of the Beara rentals we have had so far.

Super house
This is a beautiful house in a gorgeous locations. The house is very homely and comfortable with everything a family would need. The sun room looking out on the bay is particularly relaxing. Our children loved the cove at the bottom of the road, swimming, fishing, playing among the rocks. A trip to Bere Island was a highlight of the hols. Thank you John for sharing your lovely home with us.

Absolutely Gorgeous
This home is located in a beautiful part of Ireland. Off a narrow quiet lane and a short walking distance to a beach. The beach is ideal for swimming, fishing and bbq’s. The house is warm and inviting, with its own large garden, woodland walks and everything you need for a restful holiday. Thank you

Lovely home in beautiful surroundings!
The house is even nicer than the descriptions and photos. We loved all the walking paths and the ease of walking down to the very scenic and peaceful bay. (On a more prosaic note it was also useful to have a larger American-style washer and dryer). Anne, the local house manager, was very welcoming and helpful. The owner, John, was also very pleasant and helpful.
