From country lodges to high-tech masterpieces, waterfront apartments to city centre penthouses, these incredible properties could be your dream ‘home sweet home’
– if money was no object. Selling Ireland’s Most Exclusive Homes gives viewers a sneak peek behind the doors of Ireland’s multi-million euro mansions.
Seafield House in Donabate, County Dublin is the first port of call in this episode, a Palladian mansion which dates from the early 1700’s. Current owner Liam Cronin has lived there for the past 30 years and has spent his time – and money – on retaining the splendour of the house and gardens.
Next, St Kevin’s Place, Dublin 8, a cool pied-à-terre in the heart of Dublin city. The building was once a schoolhouse, then a public house – it’s now a penthouse.
Over in the seaside village of Dalkey, we follow estate agent Rena O’Kelly and her photography team as mega-mansion Sorrento is prepared for sale.
Simla Lodge, Clontarf was once a gate lodge for Clontarf Castle and has just come to market. Owner Patricia is sad to leave.
Architectural historian Emma Gilleece visits Villa Maria, Killiney designed by architect Jack O’Hare in 1954, and inspired by American legend, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Estate agent Owen Rielly shows how to use virtual reality as he prepares to digitally sell a high-tech penthouse in Dublin’s Docklands.
And if you’re looking for a very big house in the country, Rathmore House near Naas may be the place for you.
