PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Rowan Lodge is a remarkable modern home that blends Scandinavian-inspired architecture with the tranquility of its Wicklow surroundings. Occupying an elevated site with commanding mountain views, the property has been designed to maximise natural light and connection with the landscape. Approached via a Ballylusk gravel driveway, the house reveals itself as a distinctive western red cedar timber-clad residence, reminiscent of a Nordic retreat yet offering every contemporary comfort.
Internally, the accommodation is characterised by soaring vaulted ceilings, curved architectural detailing and expansive glazing. Bespoke finishes such as engineered oak flooring, custom-built bookcases and high-quality joinery reflect the meticulous attention to detail evident throughout. The property is ideally suited to both relaxed family living and entertaining, with seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Beyond the main house, a separate garage with studio and an additional garden room provide excellent versatility for home working, creative pursuits or guest accommodation. The manageable landscaped grounds are thoughtfully planted with specimen trees and shrubs, while a Swedish hot tub offers a peaceful place from which to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
ROWAN LODGE
A set of timber-framed glass doors opens into a bright and welcoming entrance hall, where steps ascend to the spectacular main living area. This impressive space features vaulted ceilings and elegant curved walls, creating a sense of openness. A solid fuel stove forms a cosy focal point, while double glass doors lead directly to the patio, inviting effortless indoor–outdoor living.
The open-plan layout incorporates a luxurious bespoke kitchen designed by Rhatigan & Hick. This beautifully crafted in-frame kitchen features marble countertops with butcher block, integrated Siemens appliances including oven, induction hob and gas wok ring, and is complemented by a practical utility/ plant room. A further room, already plumbed for use as a bathroom, provides excellent future flexibility.
The main bedroom is situated on the entrance level and enjoys direct access to the outside. A second bedroom and family bathroom is also located on this floor. A striking spiral staircase rises to two additional bedrooms, all benefiting from the unique character of the property’s design.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
Externally, the garage incorporates a studio space ideal for a home office or creative use. A pathway leads through the gardens to a workshop and a second detached cabin, offering further potential. The grounds are laid out for ease of maintenance with gravel areas, patios and lawns interspersed with specimen planting including bamboo, eucalyptus, oak, pine, spruce and griselinia hedging.
