Soak up the views from the comfort of the Water’s Edge

WATER’S Edge does almost exactly what it says on the tin — it is a West Cork home with sea access, (but not quite frontage) its own moorings, and a south-facing coastline view across Rossbrin Cove to the remnants of an O’Mahony castle.

Built about 40 years ago, Water’s Edge was probably the first house to be built here by the cove, just off the beaten track between Ballydehob and Schull. In the intervening years the quiet road here by Rosbrin has seen some very chic homes built by the discretely wealthy - there’s almost a millionaire’s row feel to the place.

It is a relatively sheltered spot, well-know to sailors, many of whom take boats here to a yard for over-wintering, so there is always a bit of passing marine traffic to enjoy.
