Not just an exclusive residential development but a natural living environment

A BEAUTIFUL SETTING IN THE HERITAGE TOWN OF KENMARE

Kenmare Town and the surrounding bay area is a most beautiful environment in which to live. Good public planning and tasteful development have created a modern progressive town which still retains all that is best about the Irish architecture and our natural environment. The Lodges is a development in Killowen on the Cork Road near the Golf Course.

LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT WITHIN AN INDIGENOUS LANDSCAPE

The Lodges is a low density development with natural landscaping and plantation. Much care and attention has gone into creating an authentic Kerry landscape, sourcing indigenous shrubs, plants, flowers and trees. Design by PLM Architects creates distinctive styling throughout - classic modern design set with great sensitivity into the rich natural landscape of this wonderful riverside site.

The Lodges is located on the bank of Kenmare River, a beautiful living environment developed in keeping with the rich architectural heritage and natural beauty of Kenmare.
