Ballinastoe Wood, Ballinastoe, Roundwood, Wicklow

Fenelon Properties are proud to present a truly stunning rural escape — the original Game Keeper’s Cottage for the Powerscourt Estate.
Welcome to ‘Ballinastoe Wood’, a beautifully positioned home perched on an elevated site, offering sweeping panoramic views over the Vartry Reservoir and the surrounding countryside. This charming residence has been thoughtfully modernised over the years, blending historic character with contemporary comforts. Set on approximately one acre, the property boasts a unique and eye-catching design, enhanced by the addition of a turret in around 1994.

This light-filled and spacious home extends to approximately 109 sq.m with huge scope for further extensions (SPP). Upon entering, you're greeted by a bright hallway with tiled flooring that flows throughout much of the ground floor. Practical built-in storage units complement the space.
To the left of the entrance, you'll find the striking turret — featuring triple-glazed windows and a curved sitting room complete with a solid fuel stove. A curved stairwell with a slit window leads to the upper level, where the turret houses a master bedroom with a mock balcony and a stylishly upgraded ensuite. Also located off the entrance hall is a modern guest bathroom and a spacious ground-floor double bedroom, which also benefits from a fully upgraded ensuite. At the rear of the home lies a generous kitchen/dining area with a vaulted ceiling, flooding the space with natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped, making it ideal for family life and entertaining. French doors open out to a large patio area with stunning views — the perfect outdoor setting for gatherings.

Additional features include a substantial detached garage currently used for storage, as well as a separate utility room. This serviced space would lend itself to many uses such as home office, gym or guest accommodation.

Nestled at the top of the Ballinastoe Mountain Bike Trail, this home is set in one of Wicklow’s most scenic locations — a gateway to the Dublin mountains and a haven for nature lovers. The famous Wicklow Way walking trail, The Sally Gap and a variety of other outdoor pursuits are all within easy reach. Just a short drive away, Roundwood village offers a full range of local amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, and retail outlets, along with active GAA and soccer clubs fostering a vibrant community spirit. Commuters will appreciate the property’s proximity to the N11, just 15km away via Kilmacanogue, and further access to the M50 at Loughlinstown, only an additional 10km on.
