Oh, to have a cool million idling in the bank.

If we had, we’d be eagerly bidding on Falling Water Lodge, in Tooreen, Glengarriff, a vast family home with a selection of hidden treats inside and outside, fresh to the market at €975,000.

Nestled in the trees near the ancient woodland and mountain terrain of Glengarriff Nature Reserve and National Park, the six-bedroom, four bathroom property is located off a scenic mountain road, just a five minute drive to the sea front village of Glengarriff and its lovely pubs and shops.

“The architect of this aptly named Falling Water Lodge was inspired by the stunning waterfall setting and the famed US architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, designer of the celebrated American landmark house, Falling Water, built over a waterfall and now a Museum at Mill Run, Pennsylvania.” says Raymond O’Neill of Sherry Fitzgerald O’Neill, who is handling the sale.

“The Glengarriff Falling Water Lodge is a very spacious three storey family home built around a central atrium and staircase leading to the upper floors. The house comprising 489 sq. m. (5237 sq. ft.) of living space, follows the slope of the land and can be accessed from ground floor and first floor levels.”

The thoughtful design of the house sees it integrate seamlessly with its surroundings. It enjoys the ultimate aspect as a passive solar house with maximum, south facing windows. There’s an artful touch in every room.

On the spacious landing that leads into the open plan kitchen and living space, a small lounge area takes advantage of the waterfall sounds.

As well as all those bedrooms, there’s a studio/workshop too; a separate, spacious single storey 60 sq. m building that is ideal for other uses, whether you plan to use it as an artists space, an Airbnb or a yoga studio or library.

A key feature of the property are the spectacular 2.5 acres of natural woodlands, stream and trails that surround the lodge.

“The grounds rise high over the residence to form gardens of unique quality with mountain, valley and sea views.” adds O’Neill.

“The ever-flowing stream and waterfall create an audible water feature whilst the mixture of specimen trees and shrubs interspersed with woodland paths creates a captivating and special garden ambience.”

At the rear of the property there is a sunny rock garden and a large, mature and terraced kitchen garden. Just imagine the sundowners and barbecues to be had out there.
