At nearly 100 meters above sea level, the location of the house at the highest point of Rathmichael Haven is unparalleled offering uninterrupted panoramic views of the Irish Sea, Dalkey Island, and, on clear days, even Wales. The expansive dimensions of the property along with its beautiful surrounding gardens provide for one of the largest properties on the market in south County Dublin for some time, while proximity to the M50 ensures excellent convenience for daily commutes and to the airport. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, this BER A-rated home is perfect for those who enjoy hosting and family living. On entering the front door and passing through the porch, one is greeted by an exceptionally bright, double-vaulted entrance hall, with its majestic, curved stairway with brushed chrome balustrade. The most attractive kitchen / breakfast room features a very large island unit and a fully equipped pantry that doubles as a second kitchen. Steps lead from the kitchen directly up to the family room with access onto the sun deck. A dedicated laundry room (with laundry chutes) also off the kitchen and a hall leading to a triple garage, complete the practical layout. Just beyond the kitchen, the gym is a true standout, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open onto a beautiful rear courtyard and overlook the fountain and play zone. A steam room and bathroom accompany the gym, with a private staircase leading to the main bedroom suite. The stunning dining room, accessible from the main hallway, boasts wall-to-wall glass doors that flood the space with natural light. The drawing room is spacious and comfortable, featuring a split-level design that accommodates a grand piano and ample seating areas. It opens onto a deck that takes full advantage of spectacular sea views. Down the hall from the drawing room, a cozy, fully stocked library with antique fireplace provides the perfect retreat. Two generously sized ensuite bedrooms are located on the ground floor, along with two well-appointed home offices. A door off the main hall leads to the basement, which houses a substantial wine cellar, the comms room, and a storage room. On the first floor, the viewing gallery to the front provides a panoramic bird's-eye view of the Irish Sea. Upstairs, the entire south wing of the house is devoted to the main suite, spanning over 2,000 sq ft. This private sanctuary includes a spacious main bedroom and a secondary bedroom, which has previously served as a nursery and as a private spa treatment room. The main suite features two bathrooms: one with a distinctly masculine design, accessed through the walk-in dressing room. The other opulent bathroom features a double Jacuzzi bath with a built-in champagne bucket. This leads to an expansive dressing room with wall-to-wall wardrobes. On the opposite side of the viewing gallery on the upper floor are three additional bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. There is a guest suite which encompasses a spacious living room, a large bedroom, a bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, and a private balcony which offers excellent views of the tennis court and pavilion. The positioning of the house maximizes its incredible vistas, designed to capture the sunrise over the Irish Sea and dramatic morning skies. The lunch deck off the family room is perfect for midday dining, while the sheltered courtyard deck at the back of the house provides a tranquil setting to enjoy the sunset. The house runs on geothermal underfloor heating, boosted by solar power. And finally: Some years ago, the owner started a garden Instagram account to keep a record of what was planted where. The account is public, so you can see the garden through the seasons. https://www.instagram.com/anirishcountrygardener/ A gardener’s delight with specimen trees, herbaceous shrubs and wonderful flowering plants all on display, the grounds of 7 Rathmichael Haven are truly breathtaking.
