Set on 1.3 acres, Dunard enjoys panoramic views stretching across five counties
€2.1m Rathcoole home hits market
A STRIKING 645sqm property located in the hills of Rathcoole, boasting extraordinary countryside views, has hit the market for a healthy €2.1m.
The detached property sits on approximately 1.3 acres of meticulously kept grounds overlooking five counties, with views from each of the four bedrooms’ windows.
Presented to the market by Savills, the 15-year-old home has been perfectly maintained by its owners, resulting in a house of exceptional quality in a “turnkey condition”.
The future owner will be greeted by electric security gates and a sweeping tarmacadam driveway, bordered by low granite walls and mature silver birch trees leading to the house’s impressive cut-stone façade and a statement front door opening.
The double-height galleried entrance hall with marble flooring sets the tone for the accommodation throughout.
The drawing room features solid Iroko timber flooring, centred around a feature Limestone fireplace, which flows seamlessly into a bright conservatory opening onto the sun-drenched south-facing patio.
To the left of the hall is a contemporary open-plan living and dining room, also with solid Iroko timber flooring, with an inset gas fireplace and floating Limestone shelf, leading through to a superbly appointed kitchen.
In the high-spec kitchen sits a large natural stone sliding island, an extensive range of modern integrated appliances and direct access to the rear garden, complemented by a separate utility room.
At first floor level, there are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, all luxuriously appointed with extensive built-in storage, three of which feature en suite bathrooms, while a well-finished family bathroom serves the fourth.
One of the main attractions of this home is the stunning indoor swimming pool complex complete with adjoining steam room, jacuzzi and changing facilities, including a shower, creating a superb private wellness suite, complete with a home gym.
Another luxury feature of this home is the stylishly fitted bar and entertaining area, providing the perfect setting for hosting, complemented by an adjoining cinema room for a cosy home entertainment experience.
The grounds of the property comprise expansive lawns, a discreetly hidden putting green and a generous granite-paved patio to the rear, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.
The house, named “Dunard”, is situated at Redgap just outside Rathcoole village, offering a balance of country and city as it sits reasonably close to Dublin city centre, accessible with regular Dublin Bus Services and the Luas Red Line.
For commuters, the N7 sits nearby, offering a straightforward route to the city centre, which is located approximately 20km away.
The location is perfect for the outdoorsy type, with some of the region’s most scenic landscapes offering a wealth of outdoor pursuits including walking, hiking and cycling within easy reach.
The surrounding area also benefits from an excellent selection of sporting amenities, with a number of well-regarded golf courses nearby such as Slade Valley and the prestigious K-Club, as well as a variety of GAA, soccer and rugby clubs.
The wider area is particularly renowned for its strong equestrian tradition, with a number of well-established racecourses, stud farms and riding schools within easy reach.
As described by Savills, this “highly accessible yet peaceful setting makes Dunard an ideal choice for those seeking a premium country residence within convenient reach of both the capital and some of Ireland’s most beautiful natural surroundings.”
