Located above a famed viewing point on the road from the village of Camp, close to the route of the old Dingle Railway, it boasts spectacular vistas and is designed to take full advantage of them from its open plan living area.It’s a great location for hillwalking, and there is great myth and lore associated with the area. The Valley of Gleann na nGealt (Valley of the Mad) is so-called because it is believed a cure for insanity came from the waters in the well there.SPACESLIVING AREAEntering into the house from the porch, the first thing you see ahead of you is a dramatic picture window looking out across epic views to the Maharees and Cappaclough beach.

The welcome basket was a great touch, we loved remote location for true unique Country feel. You can feel relaxed with easy access to Dingle if you need to.

Truly perfect spot and a beautiful home. We will be back to Mountain View. There was a leak water in the upstairs shower but the local manager was made aware.
