Kerry house with spectacular views overlooking Kenmare Harbour

Set in a beautiful coastal location just outside Kenmare, this architect-designed home offers a comfortable and efficient living space with impressive views of Kenmare Harbour.

Built on two acres of well-maintained grounds above the Ring of Kerry Golf Course, the property combines thoughtful design with practical sustainability.

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.
