This week’s New Homes of the Week focuses on Mountain Wood, a new residential scheme in Carrigaline, Co Cork, delivering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom semi-detached houses and townhouses within a landscaped setting on the southern fringe of the town.
The development comprises a range of house types extending from approximately 84.6 sq m to 135 sq m, targeting a broad buyer base including first-time buyers, families and those looking to downsize while remaining within the Cork commuter belt.
Located off Mountain Road, the scheme offers direct access to key employment centres including Ringaskiddy, as well as Cork Airport and Cork city centre via the N28 and N40 road network. The location map on page 3 highlights its proximity to major infrastructure and employment hubs, positioning the scheme within a well-established commuter corridor.
The development is set within a low-density layout, as illustrated in the site plan on page 6, with a mix of semi-detached and terrace units arranged around internal roads and open space. House types include two-bedroom homes from 84.6 sq m, three-bedroom units ranging up to 121.8 sq m, and four-bedroom homes extending to 135 sq m.
From a specification perspective, all homes are designed to achieve A2 Building Energy Ratings, incorporating air-to-water heat pumps, high levels of insulation and mechanical ventilation systems. Smart home readiness and high-speed broadband infrastructure are also included as standard, reflecting current buyer expectations around energy efficiency and digital connectivity.
Externally, homes feature a mix of render and brick finishes, with landscaped gardens, off-street parking where applicable and provision for electric vehicle charging. The scheme also includes open green areas and pedestrian connections linking into the wider locality.
Mountain Wood’s location provides access to a wide range of established amenities in Carrigaline, including schools, retail, sports facilities and community infrastructure. In addition, the scheme benefits from proximity to coastal and recreational amenities such as Crosshaven, Currabinny Woods and nearby beaches, reinforcing its positioning as a lifestyle-led residential offering.
The development is being delivered by Bridgewater Homes, with sales handled by local agents. Homes are eligible for schemes such as Help to Buy and the First Home Scheme, subject to buyer qualification.
