A five-bedroom waterfront residence with direct access to Kenmare Bay has come to the market, offering a rare combination of privacy, boating facilities and coastal views in one of Kerry's most sought-after locations. The property is located on a quiet countryside cul-de-sac near Templenoe, approximately 10 minutes from Kenmare town. Set on about two acres of landscaped grounds, it includes a private slipway, boatshed and direct waterfront access.

Extending to approximately 315 square metres, the house has been designed to make the most of its bayfront setting. A kitchen and dining area overlook the water, with French doors opening onto a patio overlooking the gardens and shoreline.

The adjoining living room features large picture windows, glazed doors and a solid-fuel stove. A mud room provides additional storage suited to coastal living.

Ground-floor accommodation includes three bedrooms. The principal suite features an ensuite bathroom, two dressing rooms and direct garden access. A second ensuite bedroom also opens onto the gardens, while a third bedroom is currently used as a home office. Upstairs are two further bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. One of the rooms is presently arranged as an office.
