Description

A classical Georgian mansion enjoying a dramatic coastal position with panoramic sea views of the Illen River estuary approaching Baltimore Harbour.
This gracious accommodation of some 10,600 ft.sq/985 m.sq is gloriously positioned on approximately 9 acres/3.65 hectares of beautiful pleasure grounds.

Aghadown is the perfect retreat for any keen sports enthusiast, with approx. 9 acres of rolling pleasure grounds offering a myriad of splendid walks, to say nothing of the surrounding countryside of West Cork which is, arguably, one of the most beautifully scenic areas the world over. The rugged peninsulas that jut out into the Atlantic Ocean have been, for the most part, undeveloped and are home to a selection of traditional towns.

In the 230 years since Aghadown's construction it has had many owners, the most notable of these being a member of the Stuart family of Scotland. The Stuart family were at one point rulers of the Kingdom of Scotland, England, Ireland and France. While there is some ambiguity as to what member of the Stuart family lived here, there is mention in Guy's Cork Almanac for 1844 - 45 of a Rev. A Stewart living in the Aghadown Glebe house, Stewart being the original spelling of the name prior to being Gallicised.

The property comprises the main house, a central courtyard, two walled gardens, a tennis court, a hot tub, and a gym as well as a private floating Jetty.

176 Pembroke Road Ballsbridge Dublin D04 EN80

Looking at the company today and thinking back to its’ origins, it’s interesting to see how, in the 30 or so years since its formation, the business has now grown to become Ireland’s largest, fully diversified property advisory firm servicing the residential and commercial property markets. Sherry FitzGerald was founded in 1982 as a result of the amalgamation of 2 companies – FitzGerald & Partners (founded 1972) and Sherry & Sons (founded in 1949). Back in 1982 we had just one residential of
