Family home “Fairways” on Well Road has been put on the market for €925,000, offering views of Mahon Golf Course and the Douglas estuary.
The property, built in 1988, was the residence of the late Liam Mackesy, former owner of Cork’s Vineyard bar, and his wife Kay. It is being sold by the executors following Kay Mackesy’s death earlier this year; her husband predeceased her by several years.
Fairways measures 164 sq m (1,750 sq ft) across three to four levels, with a B‑rated BER. The ground floor includes a 26 ft by 20 ft lounge/dining room with a stove, fireplace and sliding patio doors opening onto a garden and terrace. Above, an 18 ft by 12 ft kitchen/breakfast room features granite worktops, and a guest WC is located in an inner hallway.
The mid‑level floor provides two bedrooms, one with an en‑suite shower, while the top floor adds two further bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower.
Located four doors uphill from the newly completed Greenbanks development, the home is priced below €1 million, contrasting with nearby listings such as Randall at €1.35 million and No 1 Hettyfield Gardens at €850,000. It offers easy access to Douglas village, Mahon’s shops and offices.
