Dargle Lodge

Set on approximately 0.75 acres of exquisitely landscaped grounds, Dargle Lodge is a truly exceptional detached residence offering complete privacy, enveloped by mature trees and accompanied by the gentle sound of the River Dargle flowing along the rear boundary. Extending to approximately 445 sq.m (4,790 sq.ft), this remarkable home harmoniously combines the timeless elegance of Old-World European architecture with the relaxed sophistication of Hamptons-inspired design. The result is a residence of rare distinction, where classic character meets refined modern comfort in a tranquil and picturesque setting.

From the moment you arrive through the automated gates, a sense of tranquillity and understated luxury prevails. The approach is framed by lush, sub-tropical planting, setting the tone for this exceptional residence. The home is bathed in natural light, with French double doors opening from each of the principal rooms onto a wraparound deck and veranda, beautifully framing the surrounding gardens and offering serene views of the River Dargle.

Inside, the property is defined by its impressive proportions and exquisite craftsmanship. High, vaulted timber-panelled ceilings create a remarkable sense of space and volume, while rich American walnut flooring flows seamlessly throughout. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from dimmable lighting and underfloor geothermal heating to the integrated security system and high-speed broadband, ensuring both comfort and convenience.

At the heart of the home lies a stunning bespoke Chalon kitchen, complete with an Aga, a generous central island, and premium integrated appliances—an ideal setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. The adjoining living and dining areas are equally impressive, centred around a feature fireplace and flowing effortlessly onto the outdoor entertaining spaces.

The main house accommodation is both generous and beautifully appointed, comprising four luxurious double bedrooms, each with its own en suite. The principal suite serves as a private sanctuary, featuring a striking bay window overlooking the gardens, three walk-in dressing rooms, and both an en suite and a separate elegant bathroom complete with a freestanding bath and marble finishes. Bedrooms 2&3 are served by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, enhancing family convenience. Additional living spaces include a large utility room, guest WC, a refined study, and a bright, versatile playroom/gym.

The grounds are a standout feature of Dargle Lodge. Meticulously maintained, they offer expansive lawns, specimen planting, and a variety of peaceful outdoor areas. A charming fishing lodge sits at the garden’s edge, offering a unique riverside retreat, with full trout and salmon fishing rights included with the property . A large decked terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining.

Further enhancing the property’s appeal is a fully self-contained lodge (approximately 49 sq.m), ideal for guests, extended family, or use as a home office. A substantial garage/carport with loft storage and a cellar provides additional practical space.

Dargle Lodge represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home that seamlessly combines privacy, elegance, and an exceptional lifestyle in one of Ireland’s most sought-after locations. Presented in move-in condition, the property would benefit from some minor upgrading and cosmetic enhancements, offering the perfect opportunity for a new owner to further personalise this remarkable residence.
