Knockanode House, Knockanode, Rathdrum, Co Wicklow, A67P582

Knockanode House sits on an ancient location of historical significance - "Cnoc an Oide" (the Hill of the Scholar) - near the Meetings of the Waters. Historical in itself for its 200-years existence, the property has had many lives. Previously ran as a hospitality business, with chalets and a wine licence, Knockanode was also - in the early 2000’s - a holistic centre for meditation and yoga classes. Such versatility is only possible with a multiplicity of rooms accessible on 3 levels (as seen on the attached floorplan): - On the ground floor: an assortment of six reception rooms, 2 kitchen areas, a grand entrance hall and 2 bathrooms. - On the first floor: 7 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. A further reception room and kitchen area are located at one end of the floor. - On the second floor: in a turreted tower, an additional bedroom suite with lovely views over the gardens and onto the valley. Outside, some vast sloping mature gardens with a large, paved patio area and completed with pathways through the manicured lawns leading to secluded spots. In addition, various outhouses to the rear of the property allow to envisage a potential for conversion into studios, Airbnb units, workshops, etc. Therefore, ideas for development of this rare property are numerous: either a large family property, a retreat or a holiday destination with self-contained apartment units. The perfect place for anyone with vision & eager to take on a project.
