The Paddocks, Reenearagh, Waterville, Derrynane, Co. Kerry, V23DX79

Welcome to Reenearagh, Waterville, Co. Kerry — known locally as “Hog’s Head.”

This is a place unlike anywhere else. From the moment you travel the winding private road, a sense of escape takes over. As the landscape opens out to breathtaking, panoramic sea views, it becomes clear — this is something truly special.

Set on approximately 100 acres of rugged, unspoiled land, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ireland in its most natural and dramatic form. A grazing agreement is currently in place with a local farmer, maintaining the land’s authentic character.

And then there’s the island.

A private 9-acre island (Folio KY27196F), included in the sale — an extraordinary feature that elevates this property into something almost mythical. The idea of owning your own island is no longer a dream… It’s a reality.

Whether your passion lies in angling, boating, birdwatching, stargazing, cycling, swimming, hiking, photography, or simply immersing yourself in nature — everything is right here on your doorstep. This is a sanctuary for those who crave space, adventure, and connection to the land and sea.

For golf enthusiasts, the location is exceptional. South Kerry is recognised as the only Gold Tier International Dark Sky Reserve in the Northern Hemisphere, and nearby Waterville Golf Links and Hogs Head Golf Club offer world-class golfing experiences — with Hog’s Head itself named after this very stretch of coastline.

The residence is equally impressive. Architecturally designed, the home features:
• Two bedrooms and one bathroom
• A bright, open-plan kitchen, dining and living space
• A striking vaulted ceiling reaching approximately 22 feet
• Beautiful exposed beams and a substantial feature fireplace

The property is fully serviced with a drilled well and a professionally installed septic system, and is accessed via secure gates ensuring complete privacy and seclusion.

Despite its tranquil setting, you are less than 15 minutes from Waterville village — where fine dining, local charm, and coastal life await.

There are few properties that offer this level of privacy, scale, and raw natural beauty — and fewer still that include a private island.

This is not just a home.
It is an experience, a retreat, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Viewing is highly recommended — but be warned, you may never want to leave!
