VERY FEW ADDRESSES in the world combine world-class sporting facilities, five-star luxury and unique family living. On an enviable elevated position within Mount Juliet resort, 4 The Glen is a striking four-bedder that enjoys uninterrupted views across the fourth fairway of the celebrated Jack Nicklaus golf course.

Set within an exclusive cul-de-sac of just four detached homes, the property offers an impressive level of privacy while placing residents at the heart of one of the country’s well-known estates. Designed by the award-winning CCH Architects, the home extends to 335m with a design that blends generous space, lots of natural light and modern touches.

From the moment you step inside, the sense of space is unmissable. A dramatic double-height entrance hall creates a memorable first impression, leading seamlessly into an equally impressive living room where soaring ceilings and expansive glazing frame the surrounding landscape. Large picture windows throughout the home ensure every principal room is bathed in natural light while capturing views of the golf course and the rolling countryside beyond.
