This magical Kerry home is on the market for €475,000


A peaceful family home with large windows to capitalise on the view, this property is surrounded by beauty on all sides.

Sitting atop an elevated site of approximately 1.1 acres, Draíocht na Scealg in Moyrisk, Ballinskelligs boasts breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, Puffin Island, and The Skelligs.

Surrounded by natural beauty, the property has a total floor area of circa 103 sqm with great space both inside and out. Originally built in the 1980s, it’s been well maintained by current owners, however, the building would benefit from some modernisation.

Thoughtfully designed to maximise the natural light and incredible coastal views, the property incorporates several large window fronts throughout. The living room features custom floor-to-ceiling bay windows with a charming stone fireplace bringing warmth to the room.

The kitchen and dining area are adjacent to the living room. This room also benefits from large bespoke windows that bathe the space in sunlight. The kitchen is fully equipped with wooden units at high and low levels, complemented by a neutral-coloured countertop, while the dining table has been strategically placed right in front of the window to enjoy the view.

Additionally, there is a separate utility room conveniently located just across the hallway.

Further inside, there are three well-appointed bedrooms, each equipped with built-in wardrobes for storage. The master bedroom is ensuite with a large family bathroom completing the floor space.

Externally, the garden is mainly laid to lawn with a driveway offering plenty of room for parking.

Nestled along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way just a few miles from the Ring of Kerry, this home is located in a serene and private setting. However, despite its rural location, the property is well set up with myriad amenities in the locality including the beautiful sandy beach of St. Finan’s Bay, the popular Driftwood Restaurant, Ballinskelligs Village and beach and the scenic fishing village of Portmagee, complete with pubs and restaurants.

Caherciveen town is only 15 minutes away by car. There you’ll find plenty of shopping facilities, cafes, restaurants and bars while the larger towns of Killorglin and Killarney can be reached in approximately 1 hour and 1.5 hours, respectively. The property is also within easy reach of the airports in Cork, Shannon and Kerry which offer direct transport links within Ireland as well as to Europe and the UK.

For sporting and water enthusiasts, the immediate vicinity is ideal for sailing, walking, fishing or playing golf with many championship golf courses close by.

Currently on the market for €475,000, viewing is highly recommended and can be organised through Engel & Voelkers. In the meantime, take a peek inside this picturesque Kerry home in our gallery below.
