SET WITHIN THE secure, tree-lined grounds of The K Club’s famed 550 acre estate in Straffan, Co Kildare, 17 Churchfields no doubt sits in one of the country’s most unique places to live. With sweeping views across the Palmer North Golf Course and an interior inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, this 410 m² home blends luxury, tranquillity and thoughtful design at every turn.
Built in 2003 and made with an emphasis on harmony with the landscape, the property uses natural materials like stone, timber and large panes of glass to connect the home seamlessly with its countryside surroundings. Broad windows and sliding glass doors bathe the interiors in daylight, while open plan living spaces create an inviting sense of flow throughout the ground floor.
On entering, a bright and spacious hall sets the tone with warm timber panelling, an elegant oak staircase and subtle recessed lighting. From here, the central living spaces unfold.
Security and privacy are at the fore here. Within this gated development, the home benefits from on-site security support, an alarm system and generous private outdoor spaces.
The kitchen is a beautifully appointed Scavolini design with a statement granite island and views over both the front and back gardens. Sliding and pocket doors connect it effortlessly to the dining room, which is perfect for entertaining. A separate utility room keeps household tasks neatly out of sight.
The sitting room, which faces the 15th fairway, offers a serene retreat. Its marble fireplace and plush finishes make it ideal for relaxed evenings, while sliding doors open directly onto the west-facing terrace.
Four nicely sized double bedrooms are on the ground floor. Each has its own en suite bathroom and views of the gardens. Two of these rooms have direct outdoor access, offering flexibility for guests, older relatives or home-office use. A loft room above one of the bedrooms adds an additional private space for work or hobbies, too.
Ascending to the first floor brings you to a striking double landing with French doors leading to a large balcony, which is a super spot from which to enjoy sunset views over the golf course.
The drawing room, finished in solid oak and centred around another striking fireplace, opens directly onto this balcony, making it a great setting for entertaining.
A compact kitchenette and guest cloakroom add convenience, while the full main suite completes this level. The main bedroom is generously sized, filled with natural light and finished with fitted wardrobes, a stylish en suite bathroom and its own balcony access.
The grounds are a particular highlight. Thoughtfully landscaped and west-facing, they offer privacy, mature planting and an extensive patio ideal for outdoor dining. The driveway can park several cars easily.
Owning a home here certainly has its perks. Residents can avail of two mandatory memberships providing access to the full K Club experience such as both championship golf courses, the hotel’s spa and leisure facilities, swimming pool, gym, fishing and a range of discounted resort services.
17 Churchfields is a unique combination of architectural flair, impressive craftsmanship and an unrivalled setting alongside one of Ireland’s most prestigious golf courses. Whether as a full-time residence or a luxurious countryside retreat, it offers a lifestyle of tranquillity, exclusivity and timeless elegance.
