Secluded South Dublin mansion with private pool hits the market
Less than a 30-minute drive from the iconic St Stephen's Green shopping centre, Rathmichael is home to millionaire's estates, never mind millionaire's row, and Tortugas fits this description perfectly.
Presented in impeccable condition, this 50s-suburban-esque six-bed residence lies at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac just minutes from Shankill village, the N11 dual carriageway and the M50 motorway. Entering through electric gates, the sweeping cobblestone drives lead you through landscaped gardens to what can only be described as an envious entryway to the superbly laid-out home.

Entering through electric gates, the sweeping cobblestone drives lead you through landscaped gardens to what can only be described as an envious entryway to the superbly laid-out home.
Stepping inside, the sense of space is something you can feel from the get-go. The use of neutral tones and plenty of bright colours, Tortugas blends natural light, exceptional living and bespoke design to create the ultimate family home with more than you'll ever need while calling this your own.
The main reception room boasts several star qualities, including large windows, exposing the room to hours of natural light, an open fire and attractive oak flooring. There is plenty of room for two large sofas or a corner suite, depending on taste, making this the ideal room to retire to after an evening of entertaining. Capable of holding a dining table, special occasions will be a breeze – so, how many for Christmas dinner? Pic: Sherry Fitzgerald Bray | Daft.ie
A pair of glass doors leads to the dining room, another space filled with natural light and idyllic views of the gardens. Capable of holding a dining table, special occasions will be a breeze – so, how many for Christmas dinner?
Moving to the kitchen, it is a room that any professional chef would be happy to call their own, with plenty of space for the homeowner to cook up a storm while commanding the room from the gorgeous island-come-wine holder.
A bespoke Christian-style kitchen comprises all the modern appliances to make baking or cooking a breeze, with the previous owners installing a twin Belfast sink, six-ring hob, and American fridge-freezer and a built-in oven.

One of the property's most impressive spaces, however, is the family space. Boasting large Velux windows, a bespoke raised Donegal Limestone Fireplace and media centre, settle in for the night with popcorn and treats, and rewatch all your favourite films in ultimate comfort.
Perspective owners can also find a top-of-the-range utility room, shower room and games room on the ground floor, all complete with New England Style Coffered ceiling insets, adding to the Bree van de Kamp aesthetic of the home.
Heading upstairs, the property comprises six bedrooms and a number of luxury bathrooms and en-suites spanning over two floors. Each loading area boasts wainscot panelling, and with a terrace at the end of the first-floor hall, you have your pick of perfect spots for a glass of wine with friends.

A smooth sandstone walkway encircles the serene water feature, leading you gently back into the heart of the central garden.
