Northern Ireland’s fastest-growing property portal, HomesNI, highlights five of the most exclusive homes to hit the market in January 2025, kicking off the new year with an exciting range of top-tier properties.
1. Salt & Bark
First up, a charming five-bed family property in the picturesque village of Helen’s Bay, currently on the market with Rodgers & Browne. Laced with history and dating back to 1856, this period home was originally owned by the gardener of Lord and Lady Dufferin.
Affectionately known as ‘Salt & Bark’, due to being surrounded by mature trees and its proximity to the coastline, its perfect for those seeking a serene retreat. With high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the property has been painstakingly restored and extended - seamlessly blending its rich Irish heritage with modern elegance.
Wonderfully secluded in a peaceful and semi-rural setting, yet just minutes away from Belfast City Airport and the city itself, it’s no wonder this property has found its way into HomesNI’s January Hotlist.
