Ballantrae is a large housing development and golf course south of the western edge of Dublin. The grounds are designed to represent an Irish countryside with stone walls and sea grass lining the roadways and fairways. Large stones, reminiscent of Stonehenge front many of the individual developments.

The most memorable aspect of Ballantrae is the 15-foot sculpture of three dancing hares on a mound at the entrance. The hares were sculpted by Sophie Ryder, (London England). She was intrigued by the spring mating “dance” hares do in which they stand on their hind feet and ‘box’ each other. At the base of the statue is a wading pond with intermittent upward sprays of water that delight the children wading in the pool.

The entire development consists of 640 acres and over 1000 homes, made up of single-family, condominiums and patio/villa style homes.  Prices range from $300k and up. It is located within the city of Dublin and is serviced by the Hilliard school district. It is located off of Avery Rd, south of Rt 33 and the Perimeter Mall.
