About the Property

Glenasmole Lodge, a Georgian sporting lodge dating back to 1800, is set within a remarkable 34.3-acre estate in Bohernabreena, Co. Dublin. This property offers a rare combination of seclusion and accessibility, located approximately 17 kilometers from Dublin City Centre and within an hour's drive of Dublin Airport. The estate features uninterrupted views across the Glenasmole Valley down to Bohernabreena Reservoir, framed by mature Scots pines, beech, mountain ash, and vibrant rhododendrons. The lodge has been sensitively adapted over the years, blending architectural charm with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The elegant and light-filled accommodation is arranged to facilitate both family living and entertaining. Many rooms enjoy dual or triple aspects, providing long views over the gardens, valley, and surrounding mountains.
