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.

From the moment you pass through the tall, electric wrought iron gates, a sense of exclusivity and grace is unmistakable.

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.
