Property Description

Rineen Property – A Tranquil Private Residence with Wellness Heritage

Nestled in a secluded setting of nearly 2 acres, this exceptional private coastal residence in Rineen offers a rare opportunity to own a home that has embodied peace, wellness, and natural living for over three decades.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the estuary, this organic haven is surrounded by mature, cultivated gardens featuring an abundance of native trees – including oak, beech, birch, Scots pine, chestnut, and maple – alongside a flourishing orchard and blackcurrant bushes. The land has been nurtured without chemicals, creating its own sheltered microclimate, rich in biodiversity and serenaded by the calls of curlews, shell ducks, and other sea birds.

The main residence includes 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, with an upstairs lounge offering sweeping views across the water. A second lounge, ideal for dining and entertaining, features a wood-burning stove and panoramic garden and estuary views, perfect for year-round enjoyment. Careful thought and design has allowed the house to evolve and flow seamlessly into the gardens with its dramatic waterside setting as its backdrop.

Previously operated as a wellness centre, the property retains unique lifestyle features including an infrared sauna and a dedicated treatment room. The grounds also host three productive polytunnels, raised vegetable beds, flower gardens, and a substantial timber outbuilding formerly used as a private gym or studio space.

In addition to the main house, the property includes:

A self-contained one-bedroom bungalow, ideal for guests or private rental.

A two-bedroom en-suite annex, currently operating as successful holiday accommodation.

Numerous outbuildings and storage sheds.

Private well water supply (excellent quality) and connection to mains water.

Oil-fired central heating throughout.

Private Drainage

With 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms in total, this property offers extraordinary versatility — equally suited for multi-generational family living, a lifestyle retreat, or simply a peaceful and private residence immersed in nature.

Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the serenity, space, and unique potential of this very special home.
