Situated on a private 3.5-acre elevated site in Dunmore East, this enviable family home boasts panoramic sea views over Creaden Bay and the Waterford Estuary.

Warm, luxurious and the perfect place to relax after a day at the beach (when the weather allows!), Forenaught, Creaden is a truly exceptional home in a picturesque setting. Nestled on a 3.5-acre elevated site, the property enjoys breathtaking views over Creaden Bay and the Waterford Estuary, with an abundance of other photo-worthy locations nearby. 

The surrounding landscape is adorned with mature trees, creating a sense of peacefulness and serenity. This coupled with gated access affords the home both privacy and security. Inside, the accommodation includes six spacious bedrooms – providing ample space for family members and guests alike. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area—which features a unique pyramid-shamed Kephren fireplace—is at the heart of the home, with a sunken seating area calling you to sit and stay a while. The separate formal dining and seating area is a great companion to this space, providing a private area for hosting special occasions or intimate gatherings. 

Without a doubt, one of the standout features of this home is the outdoor patio which includes a wrap-around terrace offering a fantastic vantage point to soak in the mesmerising views. The outdoor kitchen and barbecue area are ideal for al fresco dining during warmer months while the remote control roof system with electric wind blinds means you’ll always be prepared – even if the weather doesn’t play ball! Another standout is the thermal pool. This feature allows you to stay active and rejuvenate in the comfort of your own home, providing a private oasis for relaxation and well-being.

The property also includes a detached studio apartment which provides a separate living space for extended family or guests. The detached garage offers ample storage space, while the home office pod provides a dedicated area for work or creative pursuits.

Just a few minutes’ drive from the fishing village of Dunmore East Village and Woodstown Beach, the property is in a prime location with myriad amenities in the vicinity. There you can explore a variety of charming restaurants, traditional pubs and a vibrant sailing club. Popular nearby attractions include various beaches, and many gorgeous coastal and woodland walks while sporting activities range from horseriding at a local equestrian centre to golfing, sailing and of course, swimming. Despite its secluded location, Forenaught is conveniently situated within a 90-minute drive from both Dublin and Cork, making it a great choice for those who like to be well-connected, with easy access to major cities for work or leisure. 

Other highlights include a B1 energy rating, geothermal underfloor heating and an air-to-water heat pump. 

Currently on the market for €2,495,000, the property is on sale through RE/MAX Property Specialists. Viewing is recommended, but you can take a virtual tour of this beautiful Waterford property in our gallery below.
