Description

Spectacular, Mountain side, A3 BER rated house built over a natural waterfall, the Residence is unique in design and enjoys a magnificent setting on 1.03 ha (2.5 acres) of gardens of unrivalled beauty. The architect of this aptly named Falling Water Lodge was inspired by the stunning waterfall setting and the famed US architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, designer of the celebrated American landmark house, Falling Water, built over a waterfall and now a Museum at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. The Glengarriff Falling Water Lodge is a very spacious three storey family home built around a central atrium and staircase leading to the upper floors. The house comprising 489 sq. m. (5237 sq. ft.) of living space, follows the slope of the land and can be accessed from ground floor and first floor levels. The thoughtful design of the house sees it integrate seamlessly with its natural setting and surroundings. It enjoys the ultimate aspect as a passive solar house with maximum, south facing windows. Ground Floor: There are 5 rooms and 2 bathrooms. The rooms are ideal as bedrooms or could be used as studios, workshops or adapted to various lifestyle uses. First Floor: A spacious landing leads into the open plan kitchen with dining / living area off and a small lounge area that takes advantage of the Waterfall sounds. There are also 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on this floor. Second Floor: Laid out in 3 bedrooms, bathroom and store room around a large light fitted adaptable open space. Studio / Workshop: The Studio / Workshop is a separate, spacious single storey 60 sq. m. approx. building that is ideal for other uses. Grounds: A key feature of the property are the spectacular 2.5 acres of natural woodlands, stream and trails that surround the lodge. The grounds rise high over the residence to form gardens of unique quality with mountain, valley and sea views. The ever-flowing stream and waterfall create an audible water feature whilst the mixture of specimen trees and shrubs interspersed with woodland paths creates a captivating and special garden ambience. At the rear of the property there is a sunny rock garden and a large, mature and terraced kitchen garden. Location: 'Falling Water Lodge' is an opportunity to live in an area of exceptional natural beauty and is adjacent to the ancient woodland and mountain terrain of Glengarriff Nature Reserve and National Park.
