Dramatic, cliff-side perch, near Lover’s Beach — YES!
It’s full address is Coolnaharragill, which puts it just above Lover’s Beach in south west Kerry on a cliff-side perch with magnificent sea views.
A quiet, secluded spot, (hence the name), it offers splendid isolation to prospective purchasers while still being within 45 minutes of anywhere in Kerry.
“It’s very much a property where you wouldn’t need to see another human being if you didn’t want to,” says Catherine O’Donoghue of O’Donoghue Financial Services. “you could be in a world of your own here and the only sounds you hear are nature.”
And, according to the agent, guests of the vendors sleep the sleep of the just when they come to visit — it’s that sort of place.
In fact, it would make an ideal retirement home, says Catherine, as the village of Glenbeigh is just five minutes away, with Killorglin as the main centre. Tralee and Killarney are a forty-minute drive, she says.
On grounds of just under two acres, the property has direct access to the beach from a nearby lane, and for the more adventurous, from the back garden.
The planting respects the nature of the ground and is not over fussy, says Ms O’Donoghue said and the property comes with its own stream and waterfall, which doubles as a private spa.
The house was built in 1984 by the vendors who took pains to ensure that the views were the focal point of all the reception rooms. It’s location does justice to the guide price in excess of €750,000.
Every window has a picture postcard view, Ms O’Donoghue says. The house is basically open plan over various levels and comes with 2,300 square feet of space.
This includes a self-contained apartment which is the ideal solution for guests and visiting family, says O’Donoghue.
The main house comes with three bedrooms, but the master suite includes a sauna, dressing room and full bathroom.
The apartment has a kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom and the property also comes with a detached garage.
The main living rooms include a lounge, with overhead gallery, dining room, relaxation room and a winter garden/ conservatory and all face over Dingle Bay and the Blaskets.
