Nestled within 4.5 acres of mature woodland, this Japanese-inspired home embraces simplicity, light and connection to nature. Its interiors are calm and adaptable, with natural materials and panoramic views, while a self-contained guest studio, greenhouse and bath house add to its quiet sense of retreat. Secluded yet close to Glengarriff village, it balances privacy with place.

Though each home is unique, they share a deeper idea, that true luxury lies in connection, nature and space. To a slower, more intentional way of living.
