Description
Sherry FitzGerald is delighted to present No. 1 Glinbury — the first second-hand property to come to market in this exclusive development, originally launched just five years ago.
These A-rated, high-end homes were developed by the renowned Heatherbrook Homes, in collaboration with OCOR Architects, and are a testament to quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Built to exemplary standards, they showcase luxurious finishes throughout.
Glinbury is tucked away in a secluded, private setting adjacent to The Grange Golf Club in Rathfarnham. This idyllic location is defined by the natural beauty of the river Glin, which cascades through a dramatic valley — a unique blend of ancient woodland and contemporary landscaping. It is a sylvan retreat where generations of gardeners have cultivated a rich legacy of mature trees and rare plantings, offering residents an unmatched escape to tranquillity.
Located in a prime South Dublin setting, Glinbury benefits from immediate proximity to both the city centre and the M50, ensuring convenient access to all that Dublin has to offer. The adjacent Grange Golf Club and nearby Marlay Park — with over 300 acres of premium outdoor recreational space — provide an exceptional lifestyle. Marlay Park is also the starting point for the Slang River Greenway to Dundrum and the renowned Wicklow Way, a 127 km hiking trail through the Wicklow Mountains.
Glinbury is steeped in history. Behind its high stone walls lie early 19th-century gardens, believed to have once belonged to the owner of the mill that stood at the southern edge of the site. The river that powered that mill still meanders gracefully through the grounds, adding a timeless charm to this remarkable setting.
Offering a rare combination of mature landscaped gardens and elegant modern homes, Glinbury truly is a hidden gem nestled in an ancient river valley.
In additional to the property's close proximity to Marlay Park's cafés and leisure amenities, and a local convenience store. The vibrant offerings of Rathfarnham Village — including restaurants, boutiques, salons, and shops are close, along with Nutgrove Shopping Centre and Dundrum Town Centre.
Families will appreciate the excellent local schools, including Whitechurch National School and the prestigious St. Columba's College, just minutes away. Other top-tier secondary schools in the area include Loreto High School Beaufort, Coláiste Éanna, and Wesley College and Rockbrook Park school.
Glinbury offers a rare opportunity to live in a beautifully preserved valley with a strong sense of place, superb amenities, and seamless access to the city and beyond.
