About the Property

Mount Mapas House, a distinguished Georgian villa built in 1797, is situated on an elevated site overlooking Killiney Bay, County Kerry, Ireland. This remarkable residence, the first constructed on Victoria Road at the junction with Vico Road, exemplifies the architectural ambition of its era. The property encompasses approximately 5,060.86 square meters, with a substantial indoor area of 5,059 square meters, and is available for €10,000,000. The villa's construction on a man-made platform, supported by a granite retaining wall rising to 8 meters, showcases the engineering prowess of its time. The original footprint of the house remains largely intact, preserving its historic character.
