4 of a kind: Luxury homes with hot tubs for a relaxing soak
From a five-bed in Co Meath to a 350-year-old property in north Co Dublin.
IF SOAKING IN the bath is part of your nightly relaxation routine, or you head straight to the hot tub whenever you’re staying in a hotel, you’ve probably dreamt about having your own private jacuzzi at home.
This week, we’re looking at homes around the country with their own jacuzzis – from a five-bed in Meath to a 350-year-old property in north Co Dublin.
Crosshaven, Co Cork – €480,000
A four-bed detached property, 128 Brightwater is a spacious family home of 1,733 sq ft. It features two living rooms and one play room, while the kitchen has been upgraded with sleek cabinets and integrated appliances. Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en suite bathroom.
Most impressively, however, is the log cabin in the rear garden, which features a seven-seater hot tub on its veranda. The log cabin makes for the perfect games room or den, and comes with a snooker table. Crosshaven village is a 15-minute walk away, with beautiful views to be enjoyed from the Royal Cork Yacht Club.
Sallins, Co Kildare – €750,000
A two-for-one deal, Careg-Wen is a four-bedroom property which includes a separate two-bedroom cottage in its sale. The cottage was built in 2011 and boasts a beautiful open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with solid timber units, a double-height ceiling, window seats and a stove with a brick surround.
Careg-Wen sits on five acres of mature gardens, including stud-railed paddocks, a horse-walker, sand arena and a machinery shed. A large outdoor jacuzzi is positioned to enjoy views of the surrounding countryside. Sallins is a five-minute drive away, while Straffan can be reached in 10 minutes.

Outside, the gardens feature a small pond, a paved patio area and a lawn area, with mature shrubs and trees throughout.
