Every year tells its own story in the property market. In 2025, we saw strong demand for quality homes in prime East Cork locations, with buyers placing real value on space, presentation, lifestyle and location.
Below are our top five sales of the year at Colbert & Co, along with the key reasons why each property performed so well.
1. Capri Lodge, Midleton – Sold for €1,100,000
Capri Lodge was a standout sale due to its combination of location, scale and finish.
Situated in one of Midleton’s most desirable residential settings, the property offered generous accommodation, strong privacy and a sense of exclusivity, while still being close to town amenities, schools and transport links.
The presentation of the property played a major role, with buyers immediately recognising the quality of the home. Demand was strong from families seeking a long-term home in a prime Midleton location, which ultimately drove a strong final result.
2. Cuan Beag, Roches Point, Whitegate – Sold for €800,000
Cuan Beag benefited hugely from its coastal setting and lifestyle appeal.
Located in Roches Point, the property offered sea views, privacy and a unique coastal atmosphere that is increasingly sought after by buyers. Properties in this area are limited in supply, which adds to their desirability.
The combination of location, outlook and lifestyle potential attracted strong interest and helped achieve an excellent sale price.
3. Glenvilla, Killeagh – Sold for €875,000
Glenvilla appealed to buyers looking for space, countryside living and quality, without sacrificing access to nearby towns.
The property offered a well-balanced layout, generous site, and strong presentation. Buyers were particularly drawn to the sense of privacy and the flexibility the home offered for family living.
Its proximity to Midleton and access to road networks made it attractive to buyers looking for rural living with convenience, which helped drive competitive interest.
4. Coach House, Carrigtwohill – Sold for €800,000
Coach House stood out due to its character and location.
Situated in Carrigtwohill, the property benefited from close proximity to Cork City, major employment hubs and transport links. Carrigtwohill continues to be a very strong market due to its accessibility and growing infrastructure.
The unique nature of the property, combined with strong presentation and a clear marketing strategy, helped it attract serious buyers and achieve a strong result.
5. Sea View Stables, East Ferry – Sold for €1,100,000
Sea View Stables was a premium coastal property that captured immediate attention.
Its East Ferry location, sea views and sense of privacy made it highly desirable. Properties offering this level of lifestyle appeal, space and outlook are increasingly rare.
Buyers recognised the long-term value of the location, and strong demand resulted in a standout sale price.
What These Sales Have in Common
While each property was different, there were clear themes across all five sales:
– Strong locations with either proximity to Cork City or coastal appeal
– Quality presentation and clear marketing
– Properties that offered lifestyle as well as accommodation
– Limited supply in sought-after areas, creating competition among buyers
