EACH WEEK, WE take a look at some of the most impressive homes for sale in Ireland right now in our Dream Home section.
For most people out there, dropping €7.5m on a 17-acre estate or €1.4m on a two-bed apartment is entirely out of budget, but that makes taking a nose around inside all the more appealing.
Today, we’re revisiting four of the most amazing properties that we’ve featured this year, from a New England-style woodland hideaway to an actual West Cork island.
Fancy owning your own private island, à la Leonardo DiCaprio or Shakira? Look no further. West Skeam Island, located in Roaring Water Bay, is home to three beautifully renovated stone cottages, as well as a World War II airstrip and an ancient gnostic church.
The cottages are far from old-fashioned, however, and boast bespoke kitchens, new heating systems, and (most importantly) Wifi.
West Skeam is on the market for €1,950,000.
This imaginative five-bedroom home is an impressive 1140 sq m/12,271 sq ft, and stands imposingly between two golf courses in a secluded part of Castleknock. The bespoke interior design features polished marble floors, a glass mezzanine, a basement swimming pool and your very own bar area.
Oh, and if you don’t fancy walking up and down the glass stairs, there’s a lift, too.
No 6 Homeleigh is on sale for €2,495,000.
Famously used as a venue for a Donegal storytelling festival last year, Carn Lodge is an atmospheric and creatively designed haven, located along the Wild Atlantic Way. According to the owners, the house has a “strong New England feel and a great feeling of peace and homeliness”.
The conservatory has sea views, the bedrooms are enormous and classically decorated, and outside there are trees “that are just meant to be played in.”
Offers open on Carn Lodge at €850,000.
Arguably one of Dublin’s most sought-after addresses, Foxrock is home to the stunning Claremont House. The 248 sq m/2,761 sq ft property boasts an open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, with elegant patio doors leading to a terrace. The master bedroom boasts a built-in wardrobe and a patio just outside.
Claremont House also has a beautiful, maintenance-free garden with ample seating space.
