Four high-spec Fenit five-beds

FOUR big, new, high-spec Kerry homes are out of the traps and up for sale in Fenit, near Tralee.

The 3,500 sq ft, five-bedroomed houses are just hitting the market with Property Partners Daly Ó Sé, priced in or around the €900,000 level, with a bit of wriggle room on prices depending on types of kitchen chosen etc.

Built with sea views at Kilfenora, Ardfert/Fenit, each is on circa half an acre sites, with attached garages and detached service buildings, and all have high (but as yet uncertified) BER energy ratings.

Aimed at the upper end of the trading-up market, or very well-heeled holiday home hunters, they are within a short drive of Tralee itself and of sandy beaches like Ballyheigue, with several acclaimed golf courses within a short drive, while Fenit is also a popular sailing spot.

Features include five bedrooms, with three en suites, underfloor geothermal (air to water) central heating, condensing gas boilers and evacuated tube solar collectors.

With high levels of insulation, natural stone to all elevations, vaulted ceilings, central sound system, home cinema entertainment system, internal joinery in walnut or oak, it has a central vacuum system with kick board suction point in kitchen.

The four are built already, complete with large paved patios, attached garages, seeded lawns, and a separate detached building suitable for use as a games room, home office/storage, with ‘plant’ required for the eco-friendly heating and hot water systems.

Builder of the four is John Cahillane and he has worked with Future Homes on the comprehensive cabling infrastructure and set of communication and entertainment products/services.

According to estate agent Darragh Ó Sé, the eco-heating heating in each home is provided by a German-designed and sourced Air-Water Pump complete with a 300 litre buffer tank, bringing water temperatures up to 51 degrees.
