    This is Knockrabo Knockrabo. Situated between the mountains and the sea, with inspiring views in all directions. 07 The Space for Families ABOUT THE LOCATION 15 The Space to Live ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT 23 Seeing the Vision Through FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY 31 Take a Closer Look DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION 44 The Professional Team DEVELOPER AND KEY PERSONNEL Part of Knockrabo is built on the site of History Mountanville House, a demesne that was the home of Henry Roe who is famous for having paid for the restoration of Christchurch Cathedral. The name Mountanville House was later changed to Knockrabo. The pitches, including the football pitches, were probably the best surface in the country. Many people from other sports clubs had the luxury of playing upon them. Many international teams including Portugal, trained on the pitches before going to play in Landsdowne Road. LOCAL RESIDENT The attractive house of Knockrabo, which stood opposite Mount Anville Convent, was a Victorian house of exceptional quality being located on high ground overlooking much of South County Dublin and a rooftop belvedere was added in the 19th Century to take advantage of these views. The house became the home of Chief Baron Christopher Palles in 1885 until his death in 1920. Later it became a boarding school for girls that practiced the progressive methods of English educator, Charlotte Mason (1842-1923). The school closed in 1960 and the Ski Club of Ireland built their first ski slope there c.1966 until the mid ‘70’s when it moved to Kilternan. In the early 80’s Knockrabo was owned by Dublin Gas employees, it was subsequently sold to Bank of Ireland who used it as their sports club.
