Catch the turning tide

WITH a famous movie producer neighbour, a tidal estuary at the garden’s end plus a boathouse, pretty stables and an interior as stunning as its exterior, Tidewater Hideaway is very much in west Cork’s upper echelons.

A new market arrival, this is now a house to match its stunning Skibbereen site, just 200 yards upriver of the Oldcourt boatyard along the Baltimore Road.

Along with Baltimore itself four miles away, this is Skibbereen’s Golden Mile and its most famous resident is award-garlanded film producer David Puttnam, who made the west Cork movie War of the Buttons in 1994.
