The first is a main road and is shared by other residents as well as Daniel, so anybody can drive it or walk along it. The second, which cuts off of the yellow road just as it makes a southeasterly turn toward Moneystown is the private entrace. Castlekevin Lodge (see below) which does not belong to Daniel is at the intersection of this road.

Daniel's house, is marked Castlekevin on the map.

The entire area is hilly with no extensive flat areas. The house itself is situated very near the highest point and undoubtedly has a magnificent view of the hills with the ocean in the distance.

The drawing at left is a very rough approximation of the house area. It is not to scale and I make no pretension of being an artist. It is here to give you a sense of where the pictures on Castlekevin Pictures 1 were taken. The numbers indicate the picture number and the arrows indicate the general direction of the shot.

Since this is a drawing facing the front of the house (the red door side) South is at the top.

Note the area to the east (left) of the house marked "Arena" -- Daniel constructed a horse arena here shortly after moving in. The arena is completely shut off from view of the road by a stone wall.

Also note the road to Castlekevin Lodge. This property was offered for sale in the spring/summer of 1999. It did not sell and presumably continues to be the property of whoever owned it then. It is about a 5-10 minute walk from Castlekevin Lodge to Castlekevin.

In the fall of 1996 a 45-acre plot of land to the west of Castlekevin consisting of fields, a wooded area, a pond, and a derelict 3-room stone cottage was offered for sale. Click on the icons below to see the original sale announcement(left) and accompanying picture(right).

  

Daniel purchased the 45 acres -- possibly because it came with a right-of-way through his estate and he wanted the privacy. He reportedly paid £220,000 for it. It is not known if he has made any changes to the property. The map below is a scaled-down drawing of the land registry map of the property. I have put South at the top so you can see where it attaches to Daniel's original estate. You can also see the location of the pond and derelict cottage. The "high" side of the property is to the south side. Pictures of this property are on Castlekevin Pictures 2.   A word of caution -- it is a footpath only and quite rough in places, so don't attempt to drive it. There is no good way to locate the path from the western side -- only from the eastern side through Castlekevin itself. The path takes about 30-40 minutes to walk.
