THE TERM ‘ONE-of-a-kind’ is often thrown around to describe a property with unique features but, when it comes to this Co Kerry home, it certainly rings true.

Located just a short stroll from Kenmare Bay, this colourful residence stands out from its tranquil countryside surroundings in Ardea.

Sitting on 11 acres of beautiful grounds, the stone cottage was completely renovated in 2003 and extended to include 1,722 sq ft of additional accommodation.

To the front, a vibrant porch contrasts against the cottage’s stone exterior, while a sun room to the left demands attention thanks to its eye-catching design similar to that of a bouncy castle. 

Moving into the three-bed cottage itself, there’s a country-style kitchen with windows overlooking the leafy gardens. There’s an abundance of unique features and finishes throughout the property, including a wall with intricate engraving, vaulted ceilings, stone walls and timber panelling.

The sun room can be accessed via the property and separately, with picture and roof windows flooding the space with light. From here, there’s a spacious decking area that’s perfectly suited to sitting out and enjoying the stunning views of Kenmare Bay and the countryside. 

The garden itself is a sight to behold, with an array of plants from ferns to palm trees, eucalyptus and heather. Making the short stroll to the sea even easier, footpaths and roads have been constructed to allow access throughout the private grounds.

Kenmare town is a 20-minute drive from the property, while the beautiful views that the Ring of Kerry has to offer are just across the bay. Heading further afield, Killarney town is an hour’s drive away. 

If a scenic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life is your cup of tea, this unique cottage is certainly worth a place on your radar. 

The three-bed cottage and 11 acres of land are on the market for €620,000 through Majella O’Sullivan via Daft.ie.
