Heather Cottage is a striking contemporary home on Dublin’s windswept Howth Peninsula, one of the most coveted coastal locations in Ireland. This one-of-a-kind, five-bedroom home sits discreetly into the landscape in an area of outstanding natural beauty, just outside Howth village. Heather Cottage is the last word in discretion. The property was imbued with a sense of place by its creator, the internationally renowned architect Andrzej Wejchert of AD Wejchert and Partners. Heather Cottage is located 30 minutes to Dublin city centre and 20 minutes to the airport. The restaurants and facilities of Howth village are just a short walk away. At one with its private setting on the Hill of Howth, Heather Cottage offers an unrivalled, front-row view of Ireland’s Eye, Lambay Island, and the Irish Sea beyond. The structure itself pays homage to its surroundings through the use of local materials. Clad in Howth Stone, an indigenous ochre-colored sandstone, the exterior walls blend seamlessly into the landscape. The roof is covered in sustainable, corrosion-resistant zinc, and offers two roof terraces from which to take in the breath-taking coastal panorama. The residence is composed of a split-level, single-story living and entertaining wing and a two-story bedroom wing, offering a total 3,390 square feet of airy, light-filled interior space. Heather Cottage affords splendid isolation but with every modern luxury. Designed to an exacting standard, the finishes throughout are meticulous. Double-glazed and thermally broken windows bring in the light and the views yet also provide protection from the elements. White-oiled oak and Liscannor-tile floors throughout are equipped with an underfloor gas-fired heating system. The sleek contemporary kitchen, situated on the entrance level to connect to the main living spaces, features white siltstone countertops. An open doorway leads into a large dining room overlooking the living room, itself divided into two distinct areas by a dual-fronted fireplace. Vast walls of glass frame the dramatic vistas of the Howth coastline and the Irish Sea. Designed for Ultimate Peace and Privacy every area of the house offers privacy. There are three luxurious bedrooms on the entrance level. A flight of stairs leads down to two additional bedroom suites and a sixth bedroom, currently configured as an office. The joinery, flooring, glass balustrades, open shelving, and niches are all beautifully crafted. The main bedroom has a sumptuous bathroom. The second bedroom has a spacious en-suite with a shower and a sliding glass door to a private terrace. Each of the bedrooms has an oversized en-suite bathroom (three of which have baths) appointed with Philippe Starck sanitary ware and Hansgrohe showers, all as luxurious as those in the world’s finest hotels. The house is set within over seven acres of verdant private grounds an environment of outstanding natural beauty. It is further surrounded by 300 acres of magnificent land which is totally protected landscape. The land has been designated as an area to which attaches a Special Area Amenity Order, which attributes the most stringent level of planning protection. No other home can ever be built here. This is because the surrounding landscape is Government-designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is a home to wild birds, animals, sea cliffs, heathland, and rocky outcroppings. It is land which was sacred and inspirational to many creative people, most notably Samuel Beckett and James Joyce. The house is in close proximity to three main beaches, two hidden beaches, yacht clubs, exclusive golf clubs, excellent schools, and frequent public transport systems.

Discreetly hidden behind a laurel-laden entrance on Killiney Hill Road, Druid Lodge is a rare and deeply atmospheric coastal residence of exceptional privacy, history and architectural presence. Set on approximately 1.2 acres of mature, well-tended grounds, this storied home unfolds as a place of calm authority and gentle drama, where sea views are revealed only once the gravelled sweep opens before you. Part-Victorian, part-Georgian, Druid Lodge is a house of layers, of eras, of craftsmanship, of lives well lived. From the moment the gates close behind you, the outside world falls away, replaced by birdsong, filtered light and the ever-present shimmer of the sea. Few houses in Ireland carry their past as gracefully as Druid Lodge. Among its most notable residents was John Blake Dillon—politician, Young Irelander and writer—who, after exile to the United States in 1848, returned to Ireland and married Adelaide Hart, niece of the then owner. In his memoir, Dillon wrote: “I associate all the happiest memories of my life with Druid Lodge.” That sense of contentment and refuge still permeates the house today. Extending to approximately 545 sq m (5,877 sq ft) over three levels, the house offers six bedrooms and generous reception rooms. Purchased in 1979, the house has been lovingly cared for by owners with a deep appreciation for architecture and art. As a protected structure, Druid Lodge showcases an exceptional level of original detail, meticulously restored and preserved. The entrance hall sets the tone immediately: light-filled and elegant, with original stripped timber floors, an exquisite green Connemara marble fireplace, intricate coving and elaborately carved architraves. The restored stairwell is a particular triumph—both sculptural and serene. To the left lies the dining room, a grand yet inviting space with soaring 4.2m ceiling heights, a black marble fireplace with inset stove, and tall sash windows framing sea views. These lofty proportions are mirrored in the principal rooms above, lending the house an air of calm confidence. Across the hall, the drawing room is equally impressive, with tall windows, a fine marble fireplace and doors opening into a conservatory added in the mid-1990s—an elegant transition between house and garden, ideal for long afternoons and soft coastal light. While the property would benefit from selective modernisation, any upgrades can be thoughtfully executed to enhance, rather than dilute, its remarkable original features. To the rear of the ground floor lies a fully self-contained apartment with its own entrance. Comprising two en suite bedrooms, a study, a family bathroom, and a kitchen-living room, this space offers exceptional flexibility. It may be retained as a rental, used for extended family or adult children, or reintegrated into the main house. Historically, this area would have served as the original kitchens and staff quarters. Ascending from the main hall, the Georgian return reveals a beautifully panelled sitting room with adjoining sunroom—formerly the owner’s study—offering a peaceful retreat within the house. Behind it lies the kitchen, a truly characterful space finished with terracotta tiles and anchored by an old Aga that gently warms the room. Two tall, wood-framed windows with built-in benches invite long pauses and garden views. The cupboards here were hand-built using shutters salvaged from the Sacred Heart Convent on Leeson Street, a detail emblematic of the house’s thoughtful reuse of historic materials. Also on this level are a pantry, two storerooms, and a guest WC. A blocked-off staircase hints at the house’s original circulation, while a tall stained-glass arched window illuminates the stairs to the top floor. Three charming west-facing bedrooms overlook the gardens, accompanied by a family bathroom and a dressing room—equally suited to use as a bedroom or study.

Standing proudly on an elevated site overlooking Killiney Bay to Sorrento Terrace and Bray Head, Mount Mapas House holds the distinction of being the first house constructed on Victoria Road at the junction with the now iconic Vico Road. Predating both Mount Eagle (c.1838) and Victoria Castle (c.1840), it marks the beginning of architectural development in this distinguished part of Killiney. Its location and design are a true testament to the ambition and vision of its original builders. The house sits upon a remarkable man-made platform, a major engineering achievement of its time, supported by a battered granite retaining wall rising to a height of 8 metres. This imposing wall remains a defining visual feature of Vico Road today, especially at its junction with Victoria Road. Although the precise date of its construction remains unconfirmed, it is widely believed that Thomas Bourchier, a resident of nearby Killiney Castle, built Mount Mapas House shortly after acquiring the Mount Mapas estate around 1797. The house’s original footprint remains largely unchanged, preserving its historic form and character. The structure itself is a fine example of an early 19th-century villa with a graceful ironwork veranda at first floor level that lends it a distinctly colonial elegance. The level terrace on which it stands not only facilitated the house’s construction but also provided practical garden and driveway space for carriages — a rarity in such a steep, coastal setting. In 1834, the estate was acquired by Robert Warren, a notable figure in the area’s development who commenced a series of speculative residential projects starting with Mount Eagle, followed closely by Victoria Castle. These properties were often made available for seasonal rental, reflecting both the allure and exclusivity of Killiney during this period. From 1872 to 1879, Mount Mapas was home to William Colles, a prominent Dublin surgeon, and later his son, Graves Chamney Colles. In 1879, it was sold to Murrough John O’Brien, a distinguished civil servant, who made the house his family residence for over 15 years. The property was subsequently rented by notable figures including Rt. Hon. C.T. Reddington and W. Patterson, manager of the Daily Irish Independent. Such tenancies underscore the house's long-standing appeal to prominent professionals and public figures. Nestled along the prestigious Victoria Road, Mount Mapas House is positioned for privacy and accessibility. Just a short stroll from Killiney Village, the beach, and scenic hill walks, it enjoys one of Dublin’s most beautiful natural settings. Close proximity to Dalkey Heritage Town offers a vibrant mix of artisan shops, cafés, pubs, and some of South Dublin’s finest restaurants. Killiney’s Crown Jewel – A Georgian Masterpiece Overlooking the Sea - Where History Meets Horizon Step into timeless grandeur with Mount Mapas House, an extraordinary Georgian period residence of rare distinction, commanding an elevated position above Killiney Bay. One of the finest homes to come to market in 2025, this magnificent double-fronted detached property is set amidst 1.25 acres of meticulously landscaped gardens, with spectacular panoramic views stretching from Dalkey Island and Sorrento Terrace to the rugged cliffs of Bray Head. Extending to approximately 585 sq.m (6,300 sq.ft), Mount Mapas House is a rare combination of stately architectural heritage and refined contemporary luxury, nestled on what is arguably Killiney’s most prestigious road. From the moment you pass through the tall, electric wrought iron gates, a sense of exclusivity and grace is unmistakable. A sweeping gravelled driveway, framed by manicured hedging and mature planting, offers extensive off-street parking. Granite steps lead to a classic wrought iron veranda, framing the stately entrance of this double-fronted Georgian home and hinting at the elegance within.

A magnificent, detached family home constructed in 1994 over three levels with solid concrete floors occupying an elevated position on beautiful sloping south westerly facing gardens and woodland with mature native and exotic trees that extends to approximately 0.5 Ha (1.25 acres) boasting spectacular sea views over Dublin Bay from Dalkey Island and across to Howth. Located on Mount Salus Road, a private road behind an imposing pillar and gate entrance accessed off Knocknacree Road, the property has direct gated pedestrian access to the popular scenic walks over Dalkey/Killiney hills, and is within walking distance of the wonderful amenities and facilities in Dalkey Town Centre including its own DART station as well as an excellent selection of highly regarded primary and secondary schools and a host of sporting, recreation and leisure facilities. The house was jointly designed by David Crowley of Cantwell Crowley Architects and New Hampshire Architect Dennis Mires. Its open plan living area design and style has a very American feel to it. Every single room has a sea view and is back-lit with natural light from the rear’s sunny south-westerly orientation. The property is approached through a modern pillared entrance onto a gravelled driveway with off street parking for numerous cars. Black limestone steps lead up to a Tom de Paor Architect designed twin height porched entrance addition. Off the entrance hall to the right there is a bright and airy open plan Poggenpohl kitchen/breakfast room that in turn opens into a sunny family room on one side and a bow shaped dining room on the other with breath- taking sea views from a bay of six full height windows. A spacious sitting room and gorgeous octagonal home office/library completes the accommodation at this level. An open steel and maple wood thread stairwell divides in two up to a light infused first floor landing. Off the landing there is a family bathroom and three excellent double bedrooms all en suite with spectacular sea views. The master bedroom has a cathedral style high ceiling, a balcony, walk in closet and large en suite bathroom. At garden level there is a kitchen/living/dining room with two double en suite bedrooms, a guest w.c., store and wine cellar. As this area has its own entrance door and kitchen, it can easily be separated from the main house as a self-contained unit if needs be for a family member or visiting friends. The landscaped gardens and especially the woodland area are a particular feature of the property and wraparound the property perfectly. The woodland area, laid out in the early 20th Century, has been lovingly restored with the addition of granite step paths, terraced vegetable garden, mortar free granite walls and dozens of native and exotic tree species. It is enclosed to the rear and side by a high granite wall. Its labyrinth of paths provides endless enjoyment and is a child’s haven where they can safely play and explore to their hearts content. The elevated sea views are quite simply breath-taking, and the quality of construction utilised the best materials available on the market including imported ‘Andersen’ windows. The house has a concrete construction - ring beams and poured concrete floors - making it an exceptionally solid, low maintenance, home from top to bottom.
