Nestled in the idyllic Irish countryside, this villa at Gortagown, Tahilla, in the lovely Co. Kerry, represents a wonderful opportunity for those who dream of a peaceful retreat amidst nature. Tahilla is a serene hamlet where the gentle breeze carries the whispers of the ancient landscape and the views are nothing short of breathtaking. It sits just off the renowned Ring of Kerry, known worldwide for its stunning scenic views and rich Irish culture, making this villa not only a home but a gateway to one of Ireland's most beautiful drives.
This delightful two-bedroom villa offers approximately 102 square meters of living space. Perfectly sized for a small family or a couple looking for tranquility or maybe a second home, a getaeay from the hustle and bustle of city life. Built in 2009, this property has that authentic feel with its natural stone façade that harmonizes effortlessly with the surrounding green tapestry of the countryside.
Let me paint you a picture of what it's like to live in this villa. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee in the open-plan kitchen and dining area, where the senter of life in the villa can truly be appreciated. With an open plan kitchen, living room, and dining area, the design is modern yet functional—a blank canvas, really, where you can sip a hot cup of Irish tea while gazing out over the lush terrain. Two cozy bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep, and the family bathroom ticks all the necessary boxes.
For those with an eye for potential, the villa's internal layout includes a utility room and preparations to develop additional rooms on the first floor—so much room to grow your living space! The grounds themselves, however, do call for a bit of TLC. Landscaping and resurfacing of the access road and turning area around the house are on the to-do list, but consider this an opportunity to tailor the environment to a dreamy garden setting of your choice. And let's face it, who doesn't love a bit of gardening?
The villa sits on a generous 0.24 hectares (that's around 0.59 acres for those less accustomed to hectares). With that kind of space, the possibilities are abundant—a lush garden, a comfy patio, or even space for the kids to roam freely. The surrounding locality offers everything you might desire for day-to-day living while also being a stone's throw away from adventure.
Tahilla and its surrounding areas are profusive with things to do. Nearby, Sneem Village, a mere 7km from the property, provides a delightful glimpse into local Irish life with its quaint stores and welcoming pubs. For those drawn by the outdoors, marvellous hiking spots are accessible in the surrounding hills and mountains—trails that suit both the light hiker or the more adventurous trekkers.
If you're one to enjoy the temperate climate, Kerry doesn’t disappoint. Winters are mild compared to other regions, while summers offer that perfect balance of warmth and cool breezes, ideal for a stroll or cycle around the magnificent scenic routes of South West Ireland.
Let's talk about local services. Though the services like oil central heating, private water supply and the septic tank have not been tested recently, everything’s there waiting on the arrival of its new inhabitants to breathe fresh life into it. Plus, with wireless broadband available, staying connected in this harmonious area isn't a worry.
Kerry is famously known for being home to a vibrant community of expats and locals alike, a place where tradition blends seamlessly with modern living. Close by, Kenmare at 22km, Killarney at 40km, and 57km from Kerry Airport, make the villa your perfect getaway without being too far from convenience.
Picture yourself living in a villa that’s not too perfect, offering enough comfort while providing room for you to infuse it with your own personality and style. Whether for a holiday home or a more permanent move, this villa stands as a charming invitation to a life richly woven into the fabric of county Kerry.
