DESCRIPTION
Set within the heart of the glorious Wicklow countryside, and a short distance from Dublin City Centre, this exceptional property offers a unique mix of opulence, style and grace. Located just outside the picturesque village of Kilmacanogue, Kundera is hidden from view behind imposing electric gates and reveals itself as you approach along the gently curved driveway.
The present owners have invested significant time and effort in extending and refurbishing the property under the watchful eye of their wonderful Architects E.M.D. The outcome is something extraordinarily special – A modern luxurious residence perched among the foothills of the Wicklow mountains.
The setting is truly exceptional on Rocky valley drive where the property enjoys a wonderful private rural setting yet has ease of access to the N11 bringing the city within a 30 minute commute and the airport within 45 mins for frequent travellers.
The views of the garden of Irelands mountains and countryside from both the grounds and from the interior looking out are quite spectacular, with the full impact of the foothills of the big Sugarloaf experienced from all the principal rooms.
The bespoke interior exudes quality throughout from the moment you step inside. Beautifully appointed rooms with Versace Gold tiling, bespoke designer bathrooms featuring Villeroy & Boch and Hans Grohe fittings, solid timber floors, bespoke built in units and wardrobes by Hammonds in the UK with Swarovski studded handles and a stunning main kitchen, and working kitchen designed by Siematic with Gaggenau and Miele appliances.

The principal rooms are light filled, well-proportioned and finished to exacting standards and all offer stunning mountain and garden views. They are all located off this space as are the large gym, sauna, and study with its meditation pool. The property provides a wonderful balance between reception and bedroom accommodation and is ideal for family living.
