Own your very own Georgian retreat in Cork on a lush 12-acre estate

This stunning Georgian property on a beautiful 12-acre estate in County Cork is on the market for €1,775,000 ($210,000). 

Situated outside Leap in the heart of West Cork, Corran House dates back to the 1820s and is the perfect blend of tradition and modern comforts.

The five-bedroom house is approached by a sweeping driveway that passes through a magnificent garden and crosses an enchanting stream. 

The exceptional gardens incorporate a phenomenal display of plants and trees, including Rhododendron, Azaleas and Camellias in the springtime and a wide range of rare trees and shrubs from the southern hemisphere in the summer. 

The house itself is like taking a step back in time, with five large double bedrooms and three bright and spacious reception rooms.

Corran House occupies an elevated central position in the estate, offering spectacular views over the gardens and grounds. 

The lush 12-acre estate also features six additional buildings that could be used to kickstart a private holiday business. 

A watermill dating back to the 1700s complete with an original wheel has the potential to be converted into a beautiful 1,800 sq ft living space, while a converted old stable is already capable of accommodating guests and boasts two reception rooms and its own library.

Meanwhile, a former coach house could also be converted into a holiday home, while a former poet's haven could easily be converted into a holiday home with the minimum of effort. 

Finally, a detached two-story cottage has already been partly restored, while an old farmhouse could potentially be converted into a sixth holiday cottage.
