Discover this one-of-a-kind, architect-designed family cottage, capturing the essence of airy elegance and boasting breathtaking views from every angle, including captivating panoramas of the UNESCO heritage site Skellig Michael. Nestled beside a mountain stream, this unique home offers a private walkway through the garden, leading to the picturesque Glen pier 100 metres away. Here, embark on a boat tour of the Skelligs, indulge in diving adventures, or take a refreshing swim off the pier. Perched on the renowned Skellig Ring, the cottage is less than a mile from the sandy beach of St Finian's Bay, celebrated for its excellent surfing conditions. 4.5 miles away, you'll find a shop, bar and restaurant in the picturesque coastal village of Portmagee. For the golfers, there are a number of world-class golf courses in the area.

Inside, the reverse level layout is designed to make the most of the spectacular sea views. Upstairs, you’ll discover an inviting lounge tucked under the sloping eaves of the roof, boasting views to the ocean from its comfortable sofa seating. The king-size bedroom can also be found on this level. Downstairs, the kitchen/diner is fully equipped to make meal times a breeze. Throw open the glass sliding doors and let the fresh sea air wash over the table as you dine together. The cosy twin room and white-tiled shower room complete the ground floor. Additionally, two sofa beds in the lounge offer flexible sleeping arrangements for added convenience.

Outside, a grassy lawn and a patio await with garden furniture and a BBQ, inviting you to relax, unwind and dine alfresco amidst the natural splendour that surrounds this wonderful home.

We have really enjoyed our stay in the cottage. The view is spectacular and the tranquillity is very nice. Seeing the Northern light above the Skelligs from the house was even more special. It is a perfect hide away in a scenic landscape. We will surely return of we come back to Kerry.
