Splendid isolation and stunning sea views in south Kerry for €850,000
Address : Reenearagh, Waterville, Co Kerry Price : €850,000 Agent : O'Callaghan Town & Country Real Estate View this property on Those seeking to live in splendid isolation should find what they are looking for in this house located at the end of a peninsula jutting into the Atlantic in deepest south Kerry with awe-inspiring sea views and incomparable night skies. All of that and more is on offer in this two-bed built in the 1990s in the style of a crannóg, which is now coming to the market for the first time. When the owner's father discovered Hog's Head, the isthmus of land dividing Ballinskelligs Bay and Derrynane Bay, he bought not only the plots for houses that he went on to build, but all the land around it from its sheep-farmer owner. He had seen the devastation overdevelopment had wrought on scenic areas in the US, where he lived, and he was determined the peace of his Kerry retreat would be absolute. Located midway between Waterville and Caherdaniel at the top of the peninsula is the well-known Coomakiste landmark, where a serene statue of the Virgin Mary stands guard over the wonderful view over Derrynane and Deenish and Scarriff islands. Entrance and hall Living and dining area Kitchen Access to the house is on the Waterville side, on the way to Loher stone fort. There are a couple of stony beaches on this side of Hog's Head and its namesake golf course is a 10-minute drive from here. READ MORE The 173sq m (1862sq ft) house, comprising two circular buildings welded together, is at the end of a boreen leading from Loher to here, with incredible uninterrupted views out over the sea and the islands. The Skelligs can be seen from the top of the ridge behind the house, a short climb. Main bedroom Kerry Inside the interiors are quite something, with beams carved from wood sourced from Cahersiveen Cathedral and woodwork fashioned from the outer husks of teak. It is a look that is entirely its own, the rooms are mostly circular, the front door opens on to a lobby above the livingroom. Curved stairs here lead to an open bedroom above with a circular vaulted ceiling that has at its centre, a depiction of the exact constellation that can be seen with startling visibility in the night sky above the house. This part of Kerry is a Dark Sky Reserve and the stars on a clear night have to be seen to be believed. The main living area is a vast circle, bisected by a tall stone fireplace, with a dining area on a raised platform and a kitchen behind it. Skilled master craftsmen employed a wealth of materials here local to the area, including deep-blue Valentia slate on the floor. Thanks to to the beams in the roof and the teak used on the kitchen floor, it's a warm and welcoming space that feels intimate and cosy, even when wild Atlantic gales are raging outside. The Ber is D1. There is another bedroom downstairs and one bathroom, so it might suit a couple or an individual more than a family. It comes with 100 acres of mountain land and there are grazing rights in place with a local farmer, so expect sheep and goats to be constant companions. Winter is the owner's favourite time to be here, he never tires of the ever-shifting dramatic seas below the cliffs that thunder against the nearby islands, home to an important population of Manx shearwater, storm petrel and fulmar birds. It's a unique property in one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland with unforgettable views of the sea and the sky at night. If further isolation is required, the property also comes with an island at the end of Hog's Head. Nearby beaches on the Caherdaniel side are located at Bunavalla harbour, from where Skellig Tours brings visitors to the Skelligs and Derrynane where there is a glorious sweep of interconnected beaches, the famed O'Connell ancestral home and perhaps the even more famous Bridie's pub, nestled beside the harbour. Reenearagh is on the market with O'Callaghan Town & Country Real Estate, seeking €850,000.

Halfway up Glencap Road is Rose Cottage, nestling cosily at the foot of the Sugar Loaf, surrounded by trees and greenery and with its own large back garden perfectly positioned for all-day sunlight. Rose Cottage was originally built in the 1800s, but in 2013 the owners renovated and extended the house from top to bottom, reimagining the interiors to create a contemporary layout oozing style and character and with dollops of country chic. The downstairs is almost completely open-plan, cleverly divided into discrete, interconnected areas that flow smoothly into each other to allow for seamless family living. Upstairs are five bedrooms, four with en suites, including the principal bedroom suite, which has a large picture window overlooking the beautiful back garden, and also has a dressingroom. An added attraction for new owners is a charming guest cottage just across the courtyard, which would make an ideal guest lodge for weekend visitors, a granny flat, separate office or artist's studio, or an income-generating rental property. READ MORE Rose Cottage measures 332sq m (3,573sq ft), with an additional space of 62sq m (667sq ft) in the guest cottage, and is on sale through George & Maguire asking €1.695 million. Outside, the cottage retains a traditional whitewashed stone facade with upstairs dormer windows peeking out through the slate roof tiles. The cottage is in an L-shape, with the entrance on the short leg of the L. The covered front porch has a decorative tiled floor and a seating area, and leads in to an impressive hallway with double-height ceiling and solid wood flooring. As you walk up the feature staircase, you'll be able to see the Sugar Loaf through the picture window. There's a guest WC here and to the left is a large study/den. To the right of the hallway, beyond crittal-style glass doors, is the main living space, running along the long stem of the L, beginning with a cosy livingroom area with light well above and windows on each side. From here you can see along the entire length of the cottage to the family room, diningroom and kitchen all the way out to the patio and back garden. [ Escape to the country: Period farmhouse on 9.5 acres in rural Leitrim for €350,000 Opens in new window ] A solid wood floor runs through the entire living area, and a large wood-burning stove separates the livingroom from the family room. From here there's a door to the side garden, and a good-sized utility room behind a country-style farmhouse door. The kitchen/diningroom has a beautiful bespoke Newcastle Design kitchen in solid oak and mahogany, and a large central island with a rich, dark volcanic stone worktop. Concertina doors running the full width of the kitchen open out on to the patio and the back garden, which has a long, sweeping lawn and numerous areas to relax and catch the sunshine throughout the day, including a seating and firepit area bordered by buxus hedging and a sundeck at the end of the garden.

It too has solid wooden floors and bespoke shutters, with the added bonus of dual aspect and a large picture window overlooking the back garden. Patio, leading on to the long lawn Garden seating area/sundeck Garden seating area Seating area and firepit All through the house, the taste and discernment of the owners is evident, from the small decorative touches to the high-end sanitary ware and elegant furnishings that look to the past while keeping a foot firmly in the present. The clever flow of the open-plan living space, with its architectural flourishes including split levels, layered lighting and subtle delineation of different areas, turns this cottage into a spacious, light-filled gem of country living. You could easily install internal doors if you really wanted to, but me, I'd prefer to go with the flow.
