RUGGED views over the Beara Mountains contrast sharply and stylishly with the sleek interior of a five-bed family home on the Sheep’s Head peninsula.
Indigo Rock, Gearhies, Bantry is a contemporary coastal detached split-level residence which is new to the market priced at €495,000.
As well as impressive mountain views, vistas can also be enjoyed over Gearhies Pier and Bantry Bay.
And the property – which covers 3,238 sq ft – is designed with the living area at first floor level to take advantage of these excellent sea and mountain views.

Among the many stand-out features at Indigo Rock is a bespoke kitchen with silestone countertops, similar to granite, and polished porcelain tiles.
A cosy living room has a surround sound zoned audio system, recessed cinema screen and on trend herringbone floor while an elmwood and glass inset staircase is also worth noting.

The second floor includes a bedroom and the fifth bedroom which could easily become a playroom depending on the new owner’s needs.
Solar panels and zoned under floor heating are also worth noting.
In all the grounds covers one acre and will be a draw for potential buyers with green fingers and a love of the outdoors as they comprise lawns, a fruit orchard, a chicken/duck run and a pond which combined present a wonderful opportunity to enjoy country living at its best.
