Fossa Other | Luxury historic lakefront mansion and estate in truly stunning setting

6 Bedroom Place in Fossa, Killarney

Lakeview House & Estate is a luxurious private mansion directly on the world famous Lakes of Killarney.
Steeped in history and character, this elegant home is an ideal holiday destination. Whether you choose to enjoy all the House and Estate has to offer or to explore the region's scenery, golf, fishing and other activities, you will be spoilt for choice.
The House boasts wonderfully spacious living areas, all with high ceilings and impressive plasterwork: a Dining Room seating up to 18, a Drawing Room with an open fire and a very atmospheric Library with a wood burning stove. A very comfortable kitchen/breakfast room has steps out to the garden and there is a studio/playroom which works as a less formal sitting area.
There are 4 principal bedrooms and 2 additional bedrooms allowing for a maximum of 10 guests. (The house is large and could sleep many more than this but we limit occupancy to 10 so that every guest has space to lose themselves as well as different spaces to be all together). All the bedrooms have really comfortable beds to ensure you relax completely.
Being on the Killarney National Park, the stunning views have been protected from development: from the house you can see across the lake and mountains for miles with no sign of human habitation other than Ross Castle, a restored ruin beautifully lit for your benefit at night.
The estate covers over 100 acres with many private walks. Boat trips and fishing can be arranged from your doorstep and the surrounding area has fabulous walking, climbing, cycling, horse riding, golf, fishing and entertainment facilities.
The house was built in 1869 for the family of the present owners, kinsmen of Daniel O'Connell ('the Liberator'). It replaced an earlier house they had occupied since 1820, prior to which the land was owned by the MacCarthy family, the last of which line is the owner's mother. Other than 30 years, the family's occupation of the site goes back about 1000 years.

Summary: A sense of deep tranquility descends as one approaches the property along the tree lined, sweeping drive, with views of the mountains in the distance. The house coming into view with a giant, spreading cypress opposite the grand portico is approachably majestic, like coming upon a resting Bridgerton set. As the lake and its islands come into view behind the manicured expansive lawn, with its gravel paths, gates and surrounding wildwoods and mountains, the setting takes your breath away. It is impossible to describe in words, or even show in pictures, this indescribably beautiful, peaceful place. This is a place to restore one's soul. The interior of the home is impeccable, tastefully decorated, and radiates charm and comfort. It is grand, but comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, Sir Maurice made sure we had a stock of basic provisions, as well as several bottles of his excellent whiskey (produced on premises) and a couple of bottles of champagne on arrival. The beds and bedding are extremely comfortable, the showers have great pressure, and the whole thing is kept absolutely pristine by the unobtrusive, charming housekeeper Kinge. The house is, among other things, an art and history museum, especially as it relates to the O'Connell's and their related clans. The memory of the great Liberator (for whom the whiskey is named), Daniel O'Connell, is pervasive. Maurice and Francesca are perfect hosts. I wish we could have stayed longer than four weeks.

Summary: Wonderful host and beautiful property. If you are looking for peace and a unique historic experience, this is the place. Whiskey distillery on property and amazing views with no neighbors in site. All amenities and activities are close by and we enjoyed a week that we will never forget.

Summary: History, beautiful scenery, abundant space and whiskey. This is where you must stay if coming to Killarney. It is perfect in every way for a family gathering or friend trip. It was a special treat to experience this home and hospitality of the O'Connells.

Summary: It's hard to know where to begin...because there were so many aspects to the Lakeview experience that made it my top trip of all time - and I'm an old bird who's been many places. First, Killarney is my most favorite place in the world. Full stop. And in our many previous visits, my husband and I would stay at the Aghadoe Heights because of the view, which is breathtaking. Never did I think it could be improved upon. Alas, I was wrong. The best way to describe it this... staying at the Aghadoe is like watching your favorite actor on stage, but staying at Lakeview is like having a drink with them. There is an intimacy with the surroundings at Lakeview that cannot be duplicated by staying in a hotel, no matter how nice. Second, the people…Maurice, the owner (and it is his home) could not have been more welcoming – we showed up three hours early, almost unannounced, and he did not bat an eye. He was available throughout the week by phone to answer our questions as we came upon them. Peter, the estate manager, was equally accommodating with helpful hints around the manor and in town. Bernadette, the house manager, was both “there” and “not there” at the same time, keeping things stocked and tidy. Third, the manor…. Beautifully appointed and So. Much. History. Maurice was more than happy to share the highlights. Finally, the grounds…upon turning into the main gate, you know you have made an excellent choice. There are 100 acres to explore if you wish, and I encourage you to do so. Bottom line, please don’t go there! (because it may be the week I want to book)

Summary: We had a wonderful time at this lovely home set on the lake. We were 4 couples traveling to play golf and tour and the location was just wonderful. We enjoyed beautiful nights outside along the lake and also fun times walking the grounds. Great for families and couples.

Summary: We had a wonderful family vacation at Lakeview house with two grandparents, two parents, three children, and one young adult. From the house and the amazing waterfront behind it, you see no other buildings except a distant castle on the far shore silhouetted by mountains and Killarney National Park. It is as though the entire park is on the grounds of the house. The rooms inside are large and full of tasteful art or historical curiosities. The family and the house have an interesting history that we enjoyed learning about. The host was very kind with his time and attention. The location is close to lively Killarney and perfect for amazing drives on the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula All members of our party loved the trip. We would recommend this place to anyone.

Summary: We had the pleasure of staying for a week at this beautiful estate. The accommodations were absolutely incredible. Sir Maurice O’Connell met our group of 8 at the estate. He walked us through the home and told of his family history . In the kitchen there was coffee and breakfast and snack items along with two bottles of Champagne for our stay. The home was impeccably clean along with lovely towels and bedding. The grounds are magical. The view from the kitchen looks like a postcard, absolutely stunning. The housekeeper and groundskeeper were there every day, and when we had an issue with the lock on the door, it was immediately taken care of. The location of the estate could not be better. Easy taxi ride into Killarney, or just as easy to drive the 10 minutes and park. There is a golf course less than a mile from the estate, and we had the opportunity to get in nine holes the day before we left. There was a detailed binder with suggestions of day trips, restaurants, etc. We hired the chef that was suggested for two dinners because it was so delicious. I would highly recommend Nial as an outstanding chef! I would rate our week as five stars. If I get the chance to travel that way again, I would most definitely look forward to staying here again!
