Coonanna School House was built in 1887 as a two roomed National School with separate rooms for the boys & the girls. It had been part of the Estate of the Earl of Landsdowne in South Kerry.

It remained a school until the early 1970s. It was then converted into a dwelling house & the first owner was Cearbhaill O Dalaigh, former Chief Justice & 5th President of Ireland who used it as his home after his resignation in 1976.

It was later purchased as a holiday home by the present owner & is also the setting for a recently published novel called “Rockshore”. The property features high speed broadband. Awaiting BER.

Viewing essential to appreciate the versatility of this unique property.
