Three Irish homes defined by exceptional outdoor living

Sophie Halligan

In Ireland’s vibrant and diverse property market, homes with exceptional outdoor spaces continue to draw buyers seeking a balance of lifestyle and natural beauty.

Each of these three properties stands out for its immersive settings and remarkable outdoor views.

The Lake House, Toormore, Goleen, West Cork

Asking Price: €1,300,000

Selling Agent: West Cork Property Ltd

The Lake House in Toormore, Goleen, is a lakefront retreat, purpose‑built to frame uninterrupted natural beauty.

Set on approximately 1.65 acres of landscaped grounds, the single‑storey home is encircled by sweeping gardens that flow directly to its private lake.

Floor‑to‑ceiling windows ensure that vibrant garden colours, reflective waters, and sweeping West Cork scenery are visible from nearly every room, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors.

17 Flemingstown Park, Churchtown, Dublin 14

Asking Price: €2,750,000

Selling Agent: Sherry FitzGerald Dundrum

Set on a south‑facing site, 17 Flemingstown Park is a contemporary architectural home where nature and design meet in perfect harmony.

Floor‑to‑ceiling glass and beautifully planned interiors frame meditative views of its Japanese garden and Koi pond, creating an atmosphere of considered calm.

The expansive, sun‑drenched rear gardens, accessed through dual sets of tinted glass doors offer a private, leafy backdrop that feels worlds away from city life.

Khyber Pass, Off Sorrento Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin

Asking Price: €1,595,000

Selling Agent: Janet Carroll Estate Agent

Perched on a private cul‑de‑sac off Dalkey’s prestigious Sorrento Road, this former coach house delights with its tiered, south‑westerly facing gardens.

A series of sun‑drenched terraces step down through beautifully planted levels, each offering its own vantage point over the lush gardens and out towards the vast sweep of Dublin Bay.

The elevated design creates a dramatic garden experience, ensuring sea and garden views unfold from almost every angle.

Together, these three properties illustrate the extraordinary range of outdoor living opportunities within Ireland’s premium market.

Each showcases how exceptional landscaping can elevate everyday living, making the garden, view or water’s edge just as important a space as the home itself.
