Bellevue House was an 18th-century country house set in its own 300 acre (120 ha) demesne, in the village of Delgany, County Wicklow. It is 25 km (16 miles) south of the Dublin. The house was built on an estate originally called Ballydonagh, after the townland which borders it to the south west. It was demolished in the 1950s. Delgany Golf Club is now located on the estate.
The house had extensive gardens with winding paths, large glasshouses and panoramic views across the Glen of the Downs (a wooded valley to the west) and across farmland eastward to the Irish Sea.
