A five-bedroom residential property in Crosshaven, Co Cork, owned by the proprietor of Acme Blinds, has entered the real estate market with an asking price of €850,000.
The property, known as Dolphin Lodge, is a spacious home measuring 271 square meters, or approximately 2,917 square feet. The residence includes four bathrooms and has a Building Energy Rating (BER) of D2.
The home was originally constructed in the 1950s by Colonel Head, a former British army officer. According to reporting from the Irish Examiner on April 6, 2026, the site was selected for its commanding views of the surrounding area.
Colonel Head occupied the residence until the 1960s. Following a period of changing ownership, the property was purchased in 1978 by Bill Walsh and Enda Power. Enda Power is the daughter of Louise Power and Nicholas Power, a local garda sergeant.
The property underwent significant structural and interior modifications under the ownership of Walsh and Power. The house was extended and remodelled in 1979, with further renovations completed in 1984. These updates included the addition of balconies, patios, and expanded garden areas to improve outdoor access.
Dolphin Lodge is situated in a prime location near sailing amenities, providing direct lines of sight to several local landmarks. These include the Owenabue River, the Royal Cork Yacht Club, the canopy of Currabinny Woods, and views extending toward Camden and Cork Harbour.
