Description
Situated in an unparalleled coastal setting, this harbor-facing, highly efficient, A2-rated, architect-designed home presents an extraordinary opportunity to own a sophisticated sanctuary just a short drive out the Ring of Kerry Road from Kenmare. Offers in excess of 1,695,000. Boasting an exceptional combination of luxury and sustainability, this modern residence is built on two acres of meticulously landscaped grounds that command a prime position above the Ring of Kerry Golf Course. This prestigious course, originally designed by the legendary Eddie Hackett, spans 120 acres and features an upgraded clubhouse and restaurant, adding to the appeal of this exclusive location. The contrast between the manicured green swards of the property and the rugged beauty of the surrounding landscape is striking. To the east, the undulating terrain and rocky shoreline of Kenmare Harbour create a dramatic backdrop. To the south, the breathtaking silhouette of the MacGillycuddy Reeks rises majestically, while the jagged peaks of the Caha Mountains on the Beara Peninsula frame the horizon to the west. This remarkable juxtaposition of cultivated elegance and natural grandeur ensures that every aspect of this home enjoys an exquisite setting. Designed with a low-pitch roof and split-level layout, the home maximizes both function and form. The primary living area, main bedroom, and kitchen are all positioned at the front, under deep eaves that provide shelter for the large triple-glazed Schuco sliding doors. These allow for seamless indoor-outdoor living, ensuring that even in inclement weather, fresh air and breathtaking views can be enjoyed without the worry of rain entering the interior. The intelligent use of space and architectural foresight make this an exceptional modern home tailored to embrace its stunning natural environment. A true smart-tech residence, the home is fully wired with individually zoned rooms, allowing for effortless remote control of lighting, temperature, and other utilities. The entire house is designed for energy efficiency, with air-to-water heating provided underfloor. The A2 Building Energy Rating (BER) is a testament to the meticulous planning and execution of insulation and build quality, ensuring optimal comfort and low energy consumption year-round. Upon entering, visitors are welcomed into a bright, airy lobby situated on a slightly elevated mezzanine level. From here, the view extends down to the expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, which serves as the heart of the home. The layout encourages effortless flow between spaces, while the large windows and sliding doors frame the picturesque landscape beyond. The interplay of natural light and panoramic views enhances the sense of tranquility and openness throughout. Accommodation within the home is both generous and well-appointed. There are four bedrooms in total, two of which are en-suite, offering privacy and luxury to residents and guests alike. A plant area and a guest WC are located at the rear of the home. The main bedroom, positioned to the side, enjoys direct patio access via a glazed door. It is further complemented by a stylish en-suite bathroom and walkthrough wardrobes, seamlessly blending convenience with contemporary elegance. While the town of Kenmare is conveniently close, the property is also well-situated to enjoy nearby coastal attractions. The serene beach and pier at Templenoe provide an ideal setting for leisurely walks, water activities, and relaxation. Additionally, the renowned Pat Spillane's Bar offers a welcoming local atmosphere, while the Nua Vista Golf Course clubhouse, located even closer, provides excellent hospitality and social opportunities. Accessibility is another key advantage of this exceptional home. The nearest airport, Kerry Airport in Farranfore, is just a 50-minute drive away, ensuring ease of travel for both domestic and international visitors. For those requiring greater connectivity, Cork Airport can be reached within an 80-minute drive, offering an extensive range of flights and services. In every aspect, this A2-rated, architect-designed home represents a harmonious balance of innovation, efficiency, and aesthetic brilliance. Whether as a full-time residence, a vacation retreat, or an investment in prime Irish real estate, this property delivers an unparalleled lifestyle opportunity in one of the most breathtaking settings on the Ring of Kerry. With its refined contemporary design, smart home technology, and prime coastal position, it is truly a haven of comfort and sophistication amidst Ireland's natural splendour.
