Property Description

DNG McKenna Healy is proud to present Saddle Lodge to the market, an extraordinary architecturally designed four-bedroom detached residence of unparalleled caliber. Set upon an expansive 7.9-acre estate in the heart of Balleally East, this A3-rated masterpiece represents the pinnacle of luxury rural living. Balleally offers an unrivaled opportunity to acquire a refined sanctuary where eco-efficient innovation harmonizes with the very pinnacle of bespoke craftsmanship.

A sense of profound grandeur begins at the entrance, where bespoke white ornate cast iron gates, set into substantial stone pillars, open to a magnificent sweeping driveway. Flanked by mature, perfectly manicured trees and pristine hedging, the driveway creates a dramatic sense of arrival as it leads toward the main residence. The house itself is a study in contemporary elegance, featuring a sophisticated color-rendered finish accented by hand-cut stone and warm cedar wood detailing. Premium granite paving wraps the property, and its A3 energy rating is supported by solar technology and high-efficiency Rationale double-glazed windows.

Upon entering, the hallway makes an immediate statement of architectural intent, featuring sophisticated curved walls, elegant paneling, and a light-filled storm porch with bespoke tiling. This leads seamlessly into the heart of the home: a vast, vaulted open-plan living hub. This spectacular space features soaring ceilings with exposed timber beams and floor-to-ceiling glazing that frames panoramic views of the sand arena and paddocks beyond. The culinary heart of the home is a designer kitchen by the renowned Dillon's Kitchens, featuring a bold navy and white palette, premium quartz countertops, and a substantial central island. For more intimate moments, a separate living room offers a cozy retreat with feature corner windows and a traditional open fire. Practical luxury is meticulously catered for with a large utility and a dedicated boot room, both finished with bespoke, fully-fitted storage.

The first floor is home to two further exceptional bedroom suites, designed to maximize the property's stunning surroundings. The primary master suite is a tour-de-force of design, featuring a generous walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious en-suite. Double doors lead directly from the bedroom onto a private, expansive terrace that overlooks the beautifully landscaped gardens, the equestrian facilities, and the neighboring estuary. For added convenience, this terrace features direct external access back to the ground floor. A second bedroom on this level also features its own walk-in wardrobe and private en-suite.

Spanning 7.9 acres, the grounds are a professional haven for the discerning equestrian. While one acre is dedicated to the formal gardens and granite patios, the remainder is a top-class facility comprising a substantial, high-spec American-style barn housing seven individual stables with a central aisle, a dedicated wash bay, a secure tack room, and a horse walker. The training grounds include a full-size sand arena with a premium sand-fiber surface and professional floodlighting, complemented by a dedicated lunge ring and a two-furlong gallop track. Seven individual stud-rail paddocks offer ample grazing, while an additional large shed provides significant potential for further stabling or workshop use.

Situated in the tranquil and prestigious Balleally East, this property offers total privacy while remaining remarkably accessible to Lusk village and the M1 Motorway. A key highlight of this location is its proximity to the Rogerstown Estuary and Nature Reserve, where residents can enjoy beautiful coastal walks and observe local wildlife in a protected, serene environment. Lusk is a picturesque and historic village that perfectly captures the essence of rural tranquility with connectivity to the wider Dublin region. This idyllic setting offers a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life, yet remains strategically positioned just minutes walk from the village where all amenities are on hand, Train Station and Dublin Bus Stop is just a short walk. The M1 motorway is minutes drive and approx. 10/15 minutes from Dublin Airport. Furthermore, the property serves as a gateway to the East Coast's stunning beaches of Rush, Skerries & Donabate. Every detail, from the underfloor heating and intercom security to the vaulted beams and Dillon's Kitchen cabinetry, has been executed without compromise. Saddle Lodge is more than a home, it is an unrivaled estate offering the very epiphany of the equestrian lifestyle.
