A distinguished estate of architectural significance, Emsworth occupies a remarkable position just 12 kilometres from Dublin City Centre. Extending to about 75 acres, the estate offers complete privacy and security in a unique setting.
Originally designed by renowned architect James Gandon and completed in 1794, this elegant villa, one of his only known residential commissions, has been comprehensively renovated to an exceptional standard.
Emsworth also contains a tunnel, believed to have been conceived by Gandon himself, which provides a discreet underground connection to the neighbouring Abbeyville Estate. Now blocked at both ends, the tunnel remains a rare and historically significant feature, adding an intriguing layer to the property's rich heritage.

A recent extension designed by Henry J Lyons, one of Ireland's leading architectural practices, introduces light-filled spaces that connect the main house to the guest house.
Set on about 17 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, Emsworth is approached via electric gates and a sweeping, tree-lined gravel driveway. The mature grounds surrounding the house are a key feature, including formal gardens, two kilometres of woodland walks, an ornamental lake with a decked seating area, a floodlit paddle court and sports pitch, as well as an outdoor heated swimming pool and jacuzzi with adjoining BBQ areas.
Additionally, the estate offers alternative accommodation options, including a magnificent two-bedroom guest house.
Emsworth presents a unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional combination of high-quality assets in a truly unrivalled setting, all within a highly accessible and central location.
The home is located in the prestigious and highly sought-after location of Kinsealy, just outside the coastal village of Malahide.
Its asking price is €9,250,000.
