County Cork, Ireland’s southernmost county, has rustic architectural gems, stately Georgian homes, and 19th-century rowhouses overlooking Cork Harbour.

This rustic six-bedroom, four-bath house sits over a natural waterfall near the tourist village of Glengarriff in County Cork, in southwest Ireland. Situated in a hamlet called Tooreen, the unusual house has served for years as the anchor to a popular sculpture park in the surrounding woodlands.

Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater house in Mill Run, Pa., the three-story house has a giant staircase in a central atrium surrounded by large windows to capture the sounds of the flowing stream beneath it.
