Summerhill, Dublin
This Victorian residence in Killiney, Co Dublin, has “spectacular sea views within an enviable private secluded position overlooking Killiney Bay, Sorrento Terrace and Dalkey Island”.
Summerhill has been listed as a “once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire one of South Dublin’s finest homes” due to the fact that it has been occupied by the same family for almost 40 years.
Onsite, there is a tennis court and a golf putting and chipping green, as well as a feature waterfall and pond.
The house has seven bedrooms, a gym, sitting room, drawing room, study, lobby, family room, and a guest cloakroom. There is also a wine cellar, sauna, bar, and a plant room.

Ballindoolin House, Kildare
Ballindoolin House in Carbury, Co Kildare is a historic country house with beautiful gardens, courtyards, and “lush” lands.
A house has existed on the site since 1730 but this home was built in 1822 and has been “fully and painstakingly restored in thoughtful detail right down to the recreation of the original drawing room wallpaper”.
The listing said: “A classically elegant late Georgian country house on c.252ha(625acres), Ballindoolin has been at the heart of Kildare affairs since it was built in 1822.
“With gorgeous proportions, beautiful aspect, generous spaces and marvellous craftsmanship, the house has been exquisitely restored by its current owners.”
The Georgian property has formal rooms, stables and yards, as well as seven bedrooms and bathrooms. On the basement level, there are servants rooms, a dairy and meat room, storerooms, wine cellars, a fuel room, a plant room and a former kitchen.
Full of history, the papers for this estate are currently in the care of Maynooth University, where Dr Ciaran Reilly is making a full study.
“From these we can discover that when the house passed from the Bors to their land agent, William Tyrrell in 1890, it became a bastion of politics, Tyrrell being passionately committed to the Union with the United Kingdom.
“Like so many of Ireland s great houses, Ballindoolin was attacked, and yet it survived,” the listing said.
Ballindoolin House is on sale for €9,250,000.
Bushey Park, Wicklow
This late-Georgian home in Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, is “magically positioned against a backdrop of the Dublin Mountains within a picture-postcard-like scene”.
The home has a cinema, games room, leisure complex with a pool and a music studio, as well as eight bedrooms and bathrooms. The main staircase, a back staircase and an elevator link these bedrooms to the rest of the house.
“An interlinking suite of fine reception rooms are ideal for entertaining, but equally of a scale so as to be comfortable for family living,” the listing said.
In 1996, Chris de Burgh and his wife, Diane, comprehensively restored and extended the home.
The listing said: “The noted London based interior designer Simon Kingi was commissioned to oversee the design of the interiors, including the design of all ceiling plasterwork, timber joinery work and fabric finishes.”
Bushey Park is on the market for €9,850,000.
Saint George’s Avenue, Dublin
Another listing in Killiney, this home is the height of luxury. Seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms are just the tipping point when it comes to this home.
There is a cinema/games room, a landing with a quiet reading nook, an office, living room, family room, wine store, butler’s pantry, mudroom, home gym/yoga studio, plunge pool and more.
The owners wanted the indoors and the outdoors of this property to blend whenever possible.
“The outside has been 'invited' indoors wherever possible and vice-versa.
“A first-time visitor to the property will get a strong sense of this blend as soon as they stand at the front of the house and look straight through the structure to the (almost surreal) panoramic framing of the Sugarloaf mountain.
“These design decisions manifestly make it one of the finest, naturally artistic, properties that South County Dublin has to offer,” the listing said.
If you’re looking for a room with a view, this master bedroom could be the dream. The listing said: “The master bedroom suite features a unique curved glass wall offering views overlooking Killiney Bay, Bray Head, and the Wicklow Mountains, automated curtains, and his and hers walk-in closets.
