The Property

The property is accessed via a sweeping drive off the R563 (Dingle Road) and benefits from spectacular views over Killarney Town, Lakes of Killarney and the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks and comprises a range of buildings including Aghadoe House, The Lodge (residential building) and  Gate lodge dating from 1828 which were designed by the Pian Brothers - English architects based in Limerick and Cork. The property has the benefit of two vehicular and pedestrian access points along the southern boundary.

Aghadoe House is an attractive striking period building which was built in 1828, refurbished in the 1860’s partially destroyed by fire in 1922 but re-built c.1925 and was purchased by An Óige (Irish youth hostel Association) in 1957 and has operated as a youth hostel in recent times.

The original property includes at ground floor level, fine well-proportioned rooms overlooking the grounds with the main reception rooms retaining their original features of comfort and grandeur including period windows, fireplaces and a substantial ornamental timber staircase.
