Set in arguably the best coastal plot (of approximately 0.75 Acres) in South Dublin, Inniscorrig was commissioned in 1847 by the renowned Dublin Physician Sir Dominic Corrigan. This castellated mansion built in Granite, enjoys a commanding view across Dalkey sound to Dalkey Island and beyond.
One’s eye is drawn from Howth to Wicklow across a sparkling Dublin Bay. Among many other delights, the property provides a generous working harbour and private sea swimming pool cut out of the Granite coast, one of only two in private ownership in Dublin.
Built as a summer retreat, Inniscorrig entertained many prominent guests over the years to include King Edward VII and King George V of England, their visits commemorated by a crown and star set in the pebbles of the patio terraces. Corrigan himself is commemorated in a Granite bust immediately over the hall door.
