To the east, you'll find the gentle shoreline of Kenmare Harbour, while the MacGillycuddy Reeks rise to the south and the rugged Caha Mountains sit on the Beara Peninsula to the west.
The house itself is designed with a low-pitched roof and split-level layout that makes good use of space.
The main living area, kitchen, and master bedroom face the harbour and are protected by deep eaves. Large triple-glazed sliding doors open out to the views, allowing plenty of natural light and fresh air inside while keeping the interior dry even when the weather isn't perfect.
Inside, the entrance leads to a mezzanine lobby overlooking a spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. The layout feels open and inviting, with big windows framing the scenery and creating a light, airy atmosphere.

This is also a smart home, with individually controlled zones for lighting and heating. Underfloor heating runs on an air-to-water system, contributing to the home's A2 energy rating.
This means the house stays comfortable throughout the year while keeping energy use low.
There are four bedrooms, two with en-suite bathrooms, offering good space for family or guests. The master bedroom has patio access through a glazed door and includes walk-through wardrobes and a modern en-suite bathroom.
At the back of the house, you'll find a plant room and a guest WC.
Kenmare town is nearby, and the beach and pier at Templenoe are perfect for walks or relaxing by the water. For travel, Kerry Airport is about 50 minutes away, and Cork Airport can be reached within 80 minutes.

Jedward teams up with Lidl to mark store's 25th anniversary in Ireland
Lidl has unveiled merchandise to celebrate its 25th anniversary in Ireland with the help of Jedward. The clothing and summer accessories launch "is a colourful, tongue-in-cheek tribute to Lidl's cult status and customer loyalty over the past two and a half decades". Advertisement From June 19th, Lidl shoppers can pick up the limited-edition blue, yellow and red themed merchandise. Products in the range start from €1.49. The men's and women's fashion range include blue and yellow crocs-inspired clogs (€3.99) and sliders (€3.99), branded t-shirts (€3.49), short sleeved shirts (€5.99), and bucket hats (€4.99), as well as Lidl socks (€1.49), shorts and co-ord casual zip-up tracksuit jackets and shorts (from €14.99). Speaking about Lidl's 25th anniversary in Ireland and the latest middle aisle products, John and Edward Grimes said: 'We're so excited to join forces with Lidl to launch their new range of iconic merch to celebrate their 25th birthday. We've grown up with Lidl and getting to front a campaign with such bold looks is absolutely Jepic. The shoot was a blast – the middle aisle became our catwalk as we went full festival in Lidl couture.

The bucket hats are perfect for disguises and fit our quiffs perfectly. The shorts are super comfy – we feel like Paul Mescal showing off our Irish legs. We're even thinking of running the Dublin marathon in Lidl gear. "We've had famous friends asking for the Lidl sliders so we can all twin on holiday. And we have fond memories of our Grandad surprising us with gems from the iconic middle aisle – he'd be so proud. Lidl has always been part of our lives, and now it's part of our wardrobe too.' 2025 marks a milestone for Lidl, having opened its very first stores 25 years ago in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise. Today, Lidl operates 186 stores nationwide, employing over 6,500 and was recently named Ireland's Most Reputable Food Retailer in the Ireland RepTrak® 2025 study of 100 organisations. The new merchandise range will be available in Lidl stores from Thursday, June 19th while stocks last.
