Rocklands House

About this property

Resting in Cullenagh Upper, Beaufort, and at the foot of the Macgilycuddy Reeks and Carrauntoohil, in County Kerry is Rocklands House, a fabulous four-bedroom dwelling. Just a short journey away from the Gap of Dunloe and Killarney National Park, Rocklands House offers the ideal base for a family of nine looking to explore the surrounding countryside. Park up on the private driveway before entering into the traditionally furnished open-plan living space, enjoying a well-equipped kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and a homely sitting area, complete with a double-sided woodburning stove. Further areas to relax include the light-flooded sunroom, where you can enjoy a coffee and an afternoon of reading, or head outdoors to the enclosed pet-friendly garden, ideal for alfresco dining. When sleep calls, return indoors to one of four bedrooms, all well-appointed and with direct access to bathroom facilities, including a double with en-suite, a family room serviced by a bathroom, and two ground-floor doubles with en-suites. Awaken to a stroll around the garden, with far-reaching views across the surrounding fields and peaks, before exploring the area, starting off with a trek alongside Killarney Mindful Hiking group, a round of golf at Beaufort Golf Club, or arrange your own nature-filled stroll across Lisleibane - Carrauntoohil Trail Head. Enveloping the national park, arrive to a wealth of beauty spots, including Torc Waterfall, the remains of Ross Castle, overlooking the stunning Lough Leane, Lily of Killarney Watercoach, perfect for a journey across the surrounding waters, Library Point, recommended for both hiking and kayaking, and the Falconry Kerry for an immersive afternoon. Complete your trip with a visit to The Kerry Bog Village Museum, discover River Caragh Viewing Point, or summit Carrauntoohil, standing as the highest mountain in Ireland. Enjoy a countryside escape at Rocklands House.

At the foot of the Macgillycuddy Reeks, close to the Gap of Dunloe, lies the little village of Beaufort. This area offers beautiful mountain views and is a nice place to go for a walk. The village is located between Killorglin and Killarney and has shops, pubs, and restaurants. Killarney is a popular destination for tourists every year because of its expansive countryside, nearby beaches, yearly festivals, and vibrant nightlife, which features traditional music in many of the pubs and bars. There are a variety of activities available in the area, including guided ascents to the peak of Ireland's tallest mountain, Carrauntoohil, as well as riding, walking, cycling, golf, and fishing.
