    Keys to the Kingdom at €650k developer's former home in Caherdaniel

    Coad, Caherdaniel

    It’s often said that housing developers lead by example. They typically reside in homes that reflect the quality and desirability of their own projects, instilling confidence in their creations. After all, what better testament to a building’s excellence than its creator choosing to live there?

    This home in Caherdaniel, Co Kerry, offers a compelling example. The current owner purchased it roughly eight years ago, reassured by the fact that a Dublin-based developer had not only built it, but also used it as his own holiday retreat.

    “I believe he was a developer in Dublin who built it as his own holiday home,” she says, adding that “he didn’t skimp on anything”.

    “It was built at the height of the Celtic Tiger, but it wasn’t one of those homes that was thrown up. It’s a very high-quality build,” the owner notes, emphasizing the attention to detail invested in its construction.

    Location, as any seasoned developer knows, is paramount. The original builder of this property clearly understood this, selecting a prime spot on the Iveragh Peninsula that boasts an unmatched combination of mountains, coastline, and breathtaking views.

     Furthermore, the property benefits from exceptional privacy, situated in a cul-de-sac just off the iconic Ring of Kerry, and conveniently close to several charming villages: Castlecove (approx. 5 mins), Caherdaniel (8 mins), and Sneem (15 mins). Westcove Pier, ideal for swimming, is a pleasant 15-minute walk away.

    When the current owner purchased this home in the townland of Coad, Caherdaniel, Westcove, she was already deeply familiar with the region’s natural beauty.

    “I bought in an area that I knew very well in my childhood and into my 20s. I grew up in London, but my mother was Irish and we always came here for our summer holidays.

    “I bought the house very much as a holiday home, with lots of space for family and friends and for entertaining.

    “There was lots of room for people to stay over and even a separate games’ room for the kids. It’s been perfect,” the owner says. Having used it as her permanent residence for the past few years, she highlights the appeal of the area even outside of peak season.

    “It’s a great community, and it’s not just people coming on holiday. There’s lots to do, like books clubs and coffee mornings. I’ve been living here full-time but it’s time now for a new family to enjoy it,” she says. For those considering it as a permanent home, there’s a national school in Caherdaniel village and a secondary school in Caherciveen.

    Spanning almost 2,700 sq ft, the well-proportioned home is designed to maximize its stunning surroundings, with sea views visible from the main living areas and two of the four upstairs bedrooms.

    Ron Krueger of Engel & Völkers, the selling agent, describes the main open-plan living area as a “wonderful space, ideal for entertaining” – a statement that’s undeniably accurate.

    Abundant natural light streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, framing the breathtaking panorama of Kenmare Bay. 

    Across the water lies the picturesque Beara Peninsula, carved by the Caha Mountain range. Two sets of French doors open onto a terrace, overlooking the lawn and towards the bay, creating the perfect setting for al fresco dining and barbecues.

    Mr. Krueger emphasizes the location as “a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.” With numerous beaches nearby, many boasting Blue Flag status, including O’Carrolls Cove, White Strand, and the renowned Derrynane, there’s no shortage of coastal delights. Closer to the property, Westcove Pier offers a modern slipway and secure moorings for boats of all sizes within a tranquil harbor. Fishing opportunities abound along the coastline. The peninsula also boasts a trio of golf courses, including the world-renowned Waterville links. Additionally, the Kerry Way hiking trail runs just a few hundred meters from the front door.

    After a day of activity, residents can relax in comfort by the wood-burning stove in the lounge area of the open-plan space, on the elevated terrace, or on the separate patio near the games room.

    For those who prefer not to venture upstairs – where two of the four bedrooms are en suite and feature walk-in wardrobes – the downstairs bedroom (adjacent to a downstairs wet room) offers convenient accommodation. Alternatively, a new owner could repurpose this space as a study or home office.

     The separate games room, situated on the far side of a feature arch in front of the house (with storage on the other side), also presents opportunities for adaptation.

     It has running water, making it equally suitable for a home gym or artist’s studio.

    Given the Iveragh Peninsula’s international acclaim as a scenic destination, this property is likely to attract interest from overseas buyers. Mr. Krueger anticipates interest “very much from within Ireland but also from overseas”.

    “So far we’ve had both Irish interest and enquiries from the US, with showings due to start this week,” the agent reports.

    The guide price for this impressive property is €650,000.

    Cork and Kerry airports are conveniently located two hours and one-and-a-half hours away by car, respectively. Kenmare town is a 45-minute drive.

    VERDICT: Its exceptional location and captivating setting will undoubtedly appeal to buyers seeking an idyllic holiday retreat. Its location guarantees overseas attention, whilst the quality and finish will attract those seeking a permanent family residence.
