Hegarty Properties are proud to present Aerie, a distinguished architect-designed residence with panoramic views over the East Ferry estuary. Built in 1974 and perfectly positioned on an elevated 0.56-acre site, Aerie is a home that lives up to its name, perched high and immersed in the ever-changing beauty of its coastal surrounds.
This unique property was designed to frame the landscape at every turn, with expansive aluminium-framed windows and sliding doors that open out to balconies and terraces, drawing the outside in and ensuring natural light floods each space. From sunrise to sunset, the views here are nothing short of spectacular.
The internal layout offers fluid, open-plan living ideal for both quiet retreat and entertaining. A spacious living and dining area with a feature chimney opens directly onto the balcony, making the most of the sweeping estuary views. The kitchen, fitted with bespoke aluminium windows offers practical workspace with character. Five bedrooms (including one well-suited as a study or home office), two bathrooms, and a guest WC provide comfortable accommodation.
The mature grounds are thoughtfully landscaped, with a raised rear garden, apple trees, and a range of private outdoor spaces. Below, the expansive basement level, comprising three large rooms is ripe with potential. Already in use as a gym and utility zone, it offers clear scope for conversion into a self-contained apartment or creative studio.
Discreetly set back from the road in the townland of Jamesbrook, Aerie is just 10 minutes from Midleton and the N25, offering quick access to schools, shops, beaches, and Cork City. This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly individual home that combines architectural heritage, lifestyle flexibility, and extraordinary views in one of East Corks most desirable locations.

Accommodation:
Aeries layout is defined by light, space, and outlook. The main living areas flow easily from room to room, with broad aluminium-framed windows and multiple access points to balconies and terraces. The large open-plan living and dining area offers floor-to-ceiling views across the water, with sliding glass doors, a feature chimney, and an immediate sense of tranquillity. The dining area connects to a patio via custom aluminium doors, and a separate door leads to the basement level, offering flexible future use. The kitchen features bespoke aluminium windows, an electric hob, double oven, integrated appliances and ample cabinetry. There are five bedrooms, each with flexible potential, with the master enjoying
stunning estuary views and a generous ensuite. One bedroom would function beautifully as a home office or study. A guest WC, hot press, and full main bathroom complete the internal accommodation.
