From a large equestrian estate and contemporary coastal homes to period properties steeped in local history — including one with a notable Hollywood connection — these sales are five of the highest-priced single dwellings recorded by the Property Price Register up to December 6, offering a snapshot of where the Garden County’s top-end market landed in 2025.
Spruce Lodge, Ballyrogan, Redcross (€2.75m)
Spruce Lodge, Ballyrogan, Redcross.
The most expensive residential sale recorded in Wicklow in 2025 was Spruce Lodge, a five-bedroom Georgian country house set on a 108-acre estate at Ballyrogan, Redcross.
Extending to approximately 502 sqm, the main residence forms the centrepiece of a large holding combining residential, equestrian and land uses.
In addition to the main house, the estate includes several further residential units comprising a three-bedroom manager’s house, a two-bedroom garden cottage and three two-bedroom apartments, along with a chalet located beside a private lake.
The lands incorporate formal gardens, woodland, paddocks, river frontage along the Redcross River and approximately seven hectares of forestry.
Spruce Lodge also incorporates a substantial purpose-built equestrian training centre with extensive stabling, indoor and outdoor arenas and cross-country facilities. The equestrian complex was developed by the late Joan Keogh, founder of the Irish Dressage Society.
Farniente, Kendalstown Rise, Delgany (€2.25m)
Farniente, Kendalstown Rise, Delgany.
Selling for €2.25m, Farniente in Delgany was described in a 2021 property feature as a substantially remodelled home that had undergone an extensive redesign by its owners.
At that time, the house was presented as a contemporary family residence with generous living accommodation arranged over multiple levels, following a full internal reconfiguration.
The feature also noted the home’s elevated position within Kendalstown Rise, with views across the surrounding landscape, and highlighted the scale of the refurbishment works undertaken at the property.
It further described how the redesign significantly altered the internal layout, creating a modernised living environment within what had originally been a more traditional house.
The works were presented as comprehensive in scope, affecting much of the internal accommodation rather than representing a series of minor upgrades.
Foggy Hill, 3 North Shore, Greystones (€2.2m)
Foggy Hill, 3 North Shore, Greystones.
Featuring five bedrooms, boasting a BER B3 energy rating and extending to approximately 396 sqm, Foggy Hill in Greystones sold for €2.2m.
The detached home forms part of a small, private residential scheme comprising 13 homes and occupies an elevated site within the North Shore development. Set on a plot of approximately 0.692 acres, the property includes landscaped gardens and enjoys views over the Irish Sea.
Internally, the accommodation comprises multiple living and reception spaces spread across a large footprint, along with four bathrooms. The layout also incorporates a dedicated leisure area, which has been used as a gym and games room, with independent access, as well as a hot tub and additional flexible space suitable for home working or ancillary accommodation.
Knockbawn, Portland Road, The Burnaby, Greystones (€2.2m)
Knockbawn, Portland Road, The Burnaby, Greystones.
Staying in Greystones, Knockbawn on Portland Road is a detached period house within Ireland’s first planned housing estate and noted for its association with Hollywood actor Gene Wilder, who rented the house while filming Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx in Ireland in the late 1960s.
The main house provides just under 3,360 sqft of accommodation and includes four bedrooms, along with a separate self-contained apartment of approximately 520 sq ft with its own entrance. The property occupies a corner site of around half an acre and is among the earlier homes built on the Burnaby estate, dating from around 1900.
Knockbawn retains several original Arts and Crafts and Edwardian-era features, including decorative plasterwork, tiled flooring and period fireplaces.
Dunboy, Burnaby Road, Greystones (€2.175m)
Dunboy, Burnaby Road, Greystones.
Combining scale and setting, Dunboy pairs a large detached period house with an unusually generous site for central Greystones, on one of the town’s most established residential roads, within close reach of the town centre and seafront.
Built around 1904, the detached Edwardian house extends to approximately 303 sqm (excluding garage) and is set on a landscaped site of about 0.54 acre. The house retains a range of original period features, including decorative plasterwork, stained-glass windows and period fireplaces, reflecting its early-twentieth-century origins.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes multiple reception rooms at ground level, with five bedrooms on the first floor, including an en suite to the principal bedroom. A garage of approximately 37 sqm forms part of the property.
Set back from Burnaby Road, the house overlooks Burnaby Park, with gardens extending to the rear and access via a private lane. A property listing states that Dunboy had been under the same ownership since the 1980s and had come to the market only once previously since its construction.
