Summary
Exceptional Property with Martello Tower, Two Houses & Sea Views in Killiney
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique property comprising two houses and a beautifully restored Martello Tower, set on an elevated site of approx. 0.37 ha (0.91 acres) in the heart of Killiney, South Dublin.
This remarkable site offers privacy, panoramic sea views, and significant potential for further enhancement.
Situation
The property is ideally situated on the eastern (seaward) side of Killiney Hill Road (R119), approximately 50 metres south of its junction with Killiney Avenue. Killiney Beach is just a short stroll away, making the location both peaceful and practical.
Description
This exceptional site includes three distinct elements — a recently built one-bedroom cottage, a historic Martello Tower, and a large, partially completed contemporary residence — all set within a secure, gated setting with stone boundary walls and electric gates.
Cottage: A one-bedroom residence newly built to reflect the character and charm of the original Gunner’s Cottage that once stood on the site. It offers excellent potential for enhancement or extension, subject to planning permission.
Martello Tower, 7 South: One of approximately 50 Martello towers constructed along the Irish coast by the British in the early 19th century. Built as part of a coastal defence chain to protect against possible French invasion, Martello Tower, 7 South is uniquely positioned around half a kilometre inland from the sea. Painstakingly restored over a ten-year period and formally inaugurated in 2008 with the firing of its cannon, the tower now offers atmospheric and historically rich accommodation — ideal for cultural, creative, or private use. A granite spiral staircase leads to the top of the tower, where panoramic views of the sea and surrounding landscape unfold. Beside the tower are a coach house, artillery store, and tool shed.
Modern House: A substantial, two-storey-over-basement structure of concrete, steel, and block construction with smooth plastered exterior walls and a flat roof. Though unfinished internally, the home enjoys spectacular sea views and is ready for completion to the new owner’s specifications. Alternatively, the existing structure may serve as valuable planning precedent for a new-build home on this extraordinary site (subject to planning permission).
