- the stone ruin of a corn and tuck mill
- the Kealincha River and its cascades
- an island in the river with benches and a hammock, connected to the riverbank by a bridge
- a sod-roofed beehive/meditation hut with benches and a hammock
- twenty-eight nooks and crannies in which to work and/or relax and to enjoy the Tony O’Shea-sculpted views
- a duck pond populated by six ducks and a drake and a hen yard complete with five hens and a rooster
- flower and vegetable garden beds
- a meditation meadow bordered by a mountain spring stream.

The tranquility that permeates these acres is due in large measure to the creative heart, mind, and green thumbs of Gardener Tony O’Shea who continues to find ways to enhance the natural beauty of Anam Cara’s grounds and to make places for us to belong amongst that beauty. |
