Description

"Limitless and immortal, the waters are the beginning and end of all things on earth.” — Heinrich Zimmer Lisney Sotheby's International Realty are delighted to present for sale a site of approximately 1.2 hectares with full planning permission for a one off residence of over 11,500sqft in a unique hillside setting with unparallelled views of Dublin Bay and a beautiful sunny south facing aspect. There are only a select number of residential properties anywhere in Dublin with a sea view, a southerly aspect and direct access to the shoreline. There are only eight that share the unparalleled view, enviable position and impressive scale that 'The End' enjoys on the peninsula of Howth and as a result this type of opportunity arises perhaps, just once in a generation. The current owners have gone to great lengths to secure full planning permission for a home that would not be out of place overlooking the bay of Monte Carlo or along the LA Coastline. The existing planning could easily be re-imagined or just tailored slightly to suit the requirements of the most ambitious hopes, plans and dreams of the new owners. The access from Carrickbrack Road meanders along a driveway which chicanes down to the existing property below. The current plans include the demolition of the house which currently sits at the centre of the 2 acre site. At this level there is a long, wide plateau where the hall level will be positioned in the new building. The current drawings were drafted to maximise the jaw dropping views across the bay to the south city and the Dublin mountains beyond. The site is surrounded by mature trees which contribute to the privacy and also protect the grounds and gardens from the elements. The vision for the new residence which has been designed by Douglas Wallace architects and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie House, has provision to cater for the needs of the most luxurious and adventurous lifestyles in the most serene setting. At hall level there is both a lobby and grand hall with a sweeping staircase, a library, drawing room, art gallery, orangery, a snug, a study and a boot room. The kitchen, dining room are positioned centrally and face Dublin Bay either side of an Alpine room designed around a double height chimney breast with 'wow' views in every direction. There are a selection of sunlight terraces and an outdoor heated pool included in the plans which will appeal those who may want to create a unique, luxurious, private place to retreat whilst also facilitating those who enjoy entertaining friends and family in the most impressive setting Ireland has to offer. At 'ground floor' level there is a large multi car garage complete with turntable, a cinema, gym, wine cellar and a guest suite or staff accommodation. The bedroom accommodation on the first floor allows for 4 large suites each with their own walk-in wardrobes and bathrooms. The Master suite will have his & hers dressing rooms and the option of separate bathrooms, incredible views to the south and a private terrace complete with outdoor showers. Planning will allow for a multi car garage at the entrance and a car lift which will bring you to the door of the main house and a remodelling of the existing driveway to both increase the width and soften the slope. The appeal of this project will undoubtedly extend beyond the shores of this Island and if your ambition is to create your dream home on the coastline anywhere in the world it would be difficult to find one quite as spectacular. It is indescribably picturesque, private, quite and remote yet on the doorstep of the City just 21km from St Stephens Green and 18km from Dublin Airport. Howth is a seaside town often referred to as the 'green lung' of Dublin City protected by a special area amenity order with 16km of coastline around the peninsula, a selection of stunning beaches and a marina in the harbour for those who enjoy the sea in their spare time. Some of the countrys best golf courses including Old Portmarnock, The Island and Royal Dublin are just a few minutes away with a wide selection of excellent restaurants and boutique cafes in the village and the DART line which makes the short journey to the city centre quick and easy. Known as 'The End' and situated on the cliff's edge on the Peninsula of Howth, this site truly is “the end and the beginning” for someone who wants to create the home of their dreams in the most idyllic setting this Ireland has to offer.
