A very attractive country residence pleasantly situated within its own totally secluded and private historic estate set above the river Lee and including magnificent mature gardens with interesting specimen trees and shrubs. Comprising some 80 acres or 32 hectares the undulating grounds are exceptional and a particular feature of the estate. Enjoying a sheltered position deep within the private estate Oakgrove House is a pleasant and manageable home. The current Oakgrove House dates from 1924 and incorporates the castellated part of an earlier circa 1750 house, once the holiday home of the famous Edwardian actress and singer Lily Elsie, best known for her starring role in Franz Lahar’s operetta ‘The Merry Widow’.

Comprehensively restored and remodeled some 25 years ago, circa 1996, the present residence is extremely comfortable and homely.

An attractive stone cottage has 3 bedrooms and extends to some 1,238 square feet or 115 square meters.

Carrigadrohid village is a 3-minute drive and larger Coachford village a 5-minute drive. Cork city, a European Capital of Culture winner, is a 30-minute drive and offer extensive facilities.
