About this property

  • Drimna Lodge and Baileys Cottage sit in a fabulous waterside location on the Ring of Kerry, on The Atlantic Way. You cannot live much closer to the sea than at Drimna Lodge. The design is such that you can see the water from every room of the house. Both properties have separate access from a private road and occupy an entire site of c.7 acres with views of the Macgillycuddy Reeks and direct access to the sea at Oysterbed Pier.

    The main property, Drimna Lodge was constructed by a Dutch couple in 2002 and architecturally designed by Dusoswa from DOD architects, designed to take full advantage of the spectacular views from every angle of Drimna Lodge and the peaceful outer waters of Kenmare Bay.

    Arriving at the property through the gated entrance from the private driveway, you already experience the closeness to the sea. Immediately on entering the open plan living area, the property opens up to the amazing view. The design of the home ensures water views from each of the living rooms, kitchen and dining area, and from the bedrooms while the roof terrace off the upper living room is a wonderful vantage point.

    Drimna Lodge

    The main property sits within a stones throw of the water front overlooking the Magillacuddy Reeks. A beautiful gated entrance and driveway leads to the front door and once you step through the hallway in to the kitchen/dining room, you are greeted by light filled rooms all overlooking the sea. Step up to the large library/lounge with balcony off or down to a bow windowed sitting room with garden access. Upstairs there are two large ensuite bedrooms while bedroom 3 and main bathroom are at level one.

    Outside there is a stone build detached garage and a pathway leading to the guest lodge and to the private slipway.

    Baileys Cottage

    Baileys Cottage, built as a retreat house, is so much more than a guest cottage, being a self sufficient recently redecorated two bedroomed home with large garden surround and its own driveway access.

    A short distance from both houses a boathouse sits at the waters edge which also benefits from attic storage with a sheltered area for anchorage offshore.
