Are you in search of a peaceful rural retreat with excellent development potential? Nestled in the idyllic setting of Ballylegane, Watergrasshill, Cork, this detached 3-bedroom house offers a unique opportunity to create your dream home or invest in a valuable piece of real estate. With its strategic location between Glanmire and Watergrasshill, this property stands out as a rare gem in today’s market.
This superb 1.6-acre level site offers a rare opportunity to develop in a tranquil rural setting. With existing foundations and a partially constructed property, this site provides a head start for a smoother and more efficient planning process. The groundwork already in place may significantly reduce build costs and eliminate many of the uncertainties associated with starting from scratch.
The property includes a structure in disrepair, which could be refurbished, replaced, or redeveloped entirely, subject to planning. Its pleasant countryside outlook and clear boundaries make it an attractive option. Located just minutes from the M8 motorway, Cork City is easily accessible, making it ideal for commuters.
Location Highlights
The property is strategically placed between Glanmire and Watergrasshill, approximately 9km from each. Watergrasshill offers a welcoming village community with a primary school, local shops, and a pub. Regular bus services connect it to Cork City. Glanmire, on the other hand, is a well-serviced suburb with secondary schools, supermarkets, cafes, and easy M8 access.
Why This Site Stands Out
One of the most significant advantages of this property is its existing substructure, which significantly eases the planning and building process. The clear site boundaries and attractive countryside setting add to its appeal. This quiet rural area is within a short drive to key commuter routes, making it a perfect balance of tranquillity and convenience.
With excellent development potential, especially given the site’s history of construction, this property is an ideal option for those looking to create a bespoke home or invest in a scenic, well-positioned parcel of land with strong long-term value.

Investment Potential
The site’s excellent development potential is bolstered by its history of construction, though any future development will be subject to local rural housing policies. This is an ideal option for those looking to invest in a property with strong long-term value. Whether you envision refurbishing the existing structure or redeveloping entirely, this property offers a canvas for your aspirations.
