Description

Falling Water Lodge is a truly spectacular mountainside residence, a home of rare distinction built quite literally over a natural waterfall and set within 1.03 hectares (2.5 acres) of gardens of unrivalled beauty. This remarkable A2 BER rated property offers a unique opportunity to live in harmony with nature, where architectural vision and landscape combine to create an exceptional living environment. Extending to approximately 460.7 sq. m. (4,958 sq. ft.), the lodge is a substantial three-storey family home thoughtfully designed to follow the natural slope of the land. The result is a residence that integrates seamlessly into its surroundings, with access available from both ground and first floor levels. At the heart of the home lies a striking central atrium, complete with a feature staircase that rises through the house, filling the interior with light and enhancing the sense of space and connection between floors. The property has been carefully oriented as a passive solar home, with expansive south-facing windows that maximise natural light and heat, while also framing breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and distant sea. The constant presence of the waterfall and flowing stream provides a calming soundtrack that enhances the home's tranquil atmosphere. The ground floor comprises five versatile rooms along with two bathrooms. These rooms can function as bedrooms, guest accommodation, or be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyle needs such as studios, home offices, or workshop spaces. This level offers excellent flexibility for modern living. On the first floor, a spacious landing leads into a bright and expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. This space is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with a smaller lounge area positioned to take full advantage of the soothing sounds of the waterfall. A well-proportioned bedroom and a family bathroom complete this floor. The second floor continues the theme of space and light, with three further bedrooms, a bathroom, a storeroom, and a large adaptable open area that could be used as a studio, reading space, or additional living accommodation. The grounds are nothing short of extraordinary. The 2.5 acres of natural woodland, interwoven with streams and walking trails, rise above the house to create a private and enchanting landscape. Mature trees, specimen planting, and carefully designed pathways provide ever-changing interest, while the waterfall and stream form a captivating natural focal point. To the rear, a sunny rock garden and a large terraced kitchen garden further enhance the outdoor offering. Situated adjacent to the ancient woodland and mountain terrain of Glengarriff Nature Reserve, Falling Water Lodge enjoys a setting of exceptional natural beauty. Despite its peaceful seclusion, the property is conveniently located just five minutes from the charming village of Glengarriff, with Bantry and Kenmare both within a 20-minute drive. Cork City and Cork Airport are also easily accessible within approximately 70 minutes. This is a home unlike any other—an architectural gem in an extraordinary landscape, offering privacy, beauty, and a truly unique way of living.
