Capilano, Ticknock Road, Ticknock, Dublin 18, D18W2K3

A rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of Ticknock Road’s most intriguing properties, superbly positioned on an elevated private site of approximately 2.45 acres with sweeping views across Dublin Bay.

Capilano is a substantial detached residence extending to approximately 387 sq.m. / 4,165 sq.ft., set behind electric gates and occupying a truly spectacular foothill setting beneath the Dublin Mountains. The property offers an exceptional combination of scale, privacy, views, grounds and future potential, all within easy reach of Sandyford, Stepaside, Dundrum, the M50 and Dublin City.

Originally laid out as a magnificent family home, Capilano has in recent years been very sympathetically subdivided into multiple residential units to facilitate multiple tenancies. Those tenancies have now ceased and the property will be sold with full vacant possession. The house remains in good repair throughout, however reinstatement works will be required by the new owners should they wish to return it to its original layout as a single grand family residence.

For buyers with vision, this is where the opportunity truly lies. Capilano represents extraordinary value for money and enormous scope to create a superb family home on a landmark site, with space, seclusion and a breathtaking vista across Dublin Bay that few properties in Dublin can offer.

The original accommodation was designed on an impressive scale, with generous reception rooms, extensive bedroom accommodation, a roof terrace, balcony spaces and wonderful natural light throughout. The previous floorplan will be advertised to show the property’s original layout, while the current floorplan will also be included to illustrate the present configuration and the pathway by which the house may be restored, should the new owner so wish.

The grounds are equally compelling. Extending to approximately 2.45 acres, they include mature boundaries, generous parking, lawns, elevated garden areas and a tennis court. Both the gardens and tennis court now require care and attention to restore them to their former glory, but the bones of an exceptional private estate are clearly evident.

There is also obvious longer-term potential for alternative use or development, subject to planning permission. We understand there may be scope to subdivide the lands to create up to 11 detached dwellings, subject to planning permission. Illustrative material is available and can be shown on viewing.

Capilano is situated at the beginning of Ticknock Road, a hugely attractive foothill location close to Ticknock Forest, Marlay Park, Stepaside Village, Sandyford, Dundrum Town Centre and the M50. The area is well served by excellent schools, leisure amenities, shopping, transport links and outdoor pursuits, making it one of South Dublin’s most desirable locations for those seeking space without sacrificing convenience.

Whether restored as a statement family residence, retained as a flexible multi-unit investment style property, or explored for future development potential, Capilano is a property of rare substance and possibility.
