Savills's listing reads: "The property represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take on and finish the specification and fit out of one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes.
"The bespoke design has been brought to life through impressive engineering, with the building being anchored to the bedrock, blending whitewashed elevations with steel and glass, culminating with a lighthouse feature at one end giving almost 360-degree views of the coastline.
"The position combines privacy with a diverse range of breath-taking views, all set in around 3 acres, which includes a large area of foreshore, a private tidal beach area and coves."
The property is set in three acres of land and is equipped with an infinity pool and a hot tub as well as a spacious driveway.

He added the previous buyer was 'still wanting to buy the property,' and the sale was still expected to proceed.
The new listing though would suggest the purchase was never made with the sale now being handled by London-based estate agents Savills.
A spokeswoman for both Savills and the receivers Bellevue Mortlakes said: "The sale represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase one of the UK's most spectacularly situated coastal homes and for the buyer to put the finishing touches to the property's interior to their own specification.
'The current sale price (offers in excess of £5.25m) represents fair value noting the prevailing economic and heterogeneous nature of this opportunity.
"The property has panoramic sea views and is set in grounds of over three acres, including foreshore and a tidal beach, with accommodation extending to over 6,260 sq ft.
'The detached guest lodge/holiday let accommodation extends to about 1,270 sq ft and is included in the sale price.
'Subject to registration with the agents, the receiver has provided an extensive suite of information and supporting documentation relating to the building's history, construction and title, which are available via an online data room."

On This Week: Phil Lynott immortalised just off Grafton Street

On This Week: Irish Moments from History (18th - 24th August) Welcome to On This Week, where we delve into the standout stories from the years gone by, featuring standout news stories, major sporting events, and pop culture highlights that helped shape Irish life. Here's your dose of Irish nostalgia from 18th - 24th August. This Week In Irish News 1995: Microsoft launch Windows 95 for PCs Microsoft launched Windows 95 in Ireland, a new operating system designed to make computers easier to use for consumers. A worldwide launch saw great fanfare as the operating system improved navigation, multimedia use, and internet access. Windows 95 was manufactured in Ireland for distribution across Europe. For £70, demand for it was steady, and it sold out quickly in retailers. 2024: Carlow man crowned Supreme World Ploughing Champion Eamonn Tracey from Carlow has been crowned Supreme World Ploughing Champion at the 69th World Ploughing Contest in Tartu, Estonia's second city. It marked his third successive victory in the Conventional Class. Jer Coakley, from West Cork, also returned home with glory after storming to victory as Reversible World Ploughing Champion. This Week In Irish Sports 1984: Liverpool FC pay a visit to Dublin Liverpool football club visited Dublin to play a friendly against Home Farm, which featured players selected from the League of Ireland. Fans were out in force at Dublin Airport to greet the team, which included players like Ian Rush, Kenny Dalglish, and Alan Hansen and is considered one of the club's greatest teams. Rush was awarded a Player of the Year award by the Dublin branch of the Liverpool Supporters Club. Liverpool would go on to win the match 3 - 0. 2018: Limerick hang on to end 45 years of pain Limerick won its first All-Ireland hurling title since 1973, surviving a valiant comeback from defending champions Galway to secure the title. The game exploded into life in the final 10 minutes as Galway cut a 68th-minute eight-point deficit to just one in injury time. But Limerick dug deep to win in front of a full house in Croke Park. This Week In Irish Entertainment 2003: Red Hot Chili Peppers rock Slane Two years after playing support to U2, Red Hot Chilli Peppers headlined a sold-out show at Slane Castle in Co Meath. The band promised to return at their last gig in Slane and did so in front of an 80,000 crowd. They were supported by the Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Feeder, Morcheeba, and Halite. The concert saw music fans travel from all around Ireland and abroad to enjoy the lineup. 2024: Half a million tune in to see Rose of Tralee crowned Over half a million viewers tuned in to watch New Zealand Rose Keely O'Grady crowned the 2024 International Rose of Tralee. It was the second time a rose from New Zealand won the competition; the last time was in 1988. O'Grady was studying Speech and Language Therapy at Canterbury University when she won the 64th Rose of Tralee festival. The Co Kerry festival drew a peak of 599,100 viewers on RTÉ One, while an average audience of 543,000 watched the festival. This Week In Irish Culture 2005: Phil Lynott sculpture unveiled A sculpture of Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott was unveiled outside Bruxelles Bar, just off Grafton Street. Thin Lizzy was regarded as Ireland's first successful rock band, and hundreds turned up to witness the unveiling by the musician's mother, Philomena Lynott, and then-Lord Mayor Catherine Byrne. The life-size sculpture was sculpted by Paul Daly and commissioned by the Róisín Dubh trust, which was established to commemorate Lynott's life and work. What was Number 1 in Ireland This Week? 1970: 'The Wonder of You' by Elvis Presley The Ray Peterson cover became one of Elvis' most successful records in the UK ever and stayed number one in Ireland for three weeks. 1992: 'Rhythm is a Dancer' by Snap!

Irish-language poet Derry O'Sullivan dies in Paris

Irish-language poet Derry O'Sullivan has died in Paris aged 81. Originally from west Cork, he had been living in Paris for many years. Mr O'Sullivan published three poetry collections in Irish - Cá bhfuil do Iúdás? (1987); Cá bhfuil Tiarna Talún l'Univers? (1994); and An bhfuil cead agam dul amach, más é do thoil é? (2009), as well as An Lá go dTáinig Siad (2005), a long poem about the Nazi takeover of Paris in 1940. A collection of his poems in French was published as En Mal de Fleurs in 1988. He also published the first direct translation into French of the 10th-Century Irish poem An Chailleach Bhéarra in collaboration with Jean-Yves Bériou and Martine Joulia. An English translation by Kaarina Hollo of his poem Marbhghin 1943: Glaoch ar Liombó ('Stillborn 1943: Calling Limbo') won the 2012 Times Stephen Spender Prize for poetry translation. Mr O'Sullivan was born in Bantry in 1944. After studying Latin, Greek and Philosophy in University College Cork, he spent several years as a Capuchin monk. In 1969, he was ordained a priest and sent to Paris, although he left the priesthood a year later. He taught English at the Sorbonne, the Institut Catholique de Paris and the Institut Supérieur d'Electronique de Paris. He was also a senior examiner for the International Baccalaureate and was among the founders of the Festival Franco-Anglais de Poésie. He is predeceased by his wife Jean, and is survived by his son Dekin and daughters Isolde and Derval.
