ON FIRST LOOK, this large 725 m² house in the Mayo countryside could be one of the many historic homes that are dotted throughout Ireland. Castlemacgarrett Park Old, however, was only built between 1997 and 1999. The exterior, though, is a 200-year-old stone.

A six-bed luxury home with the finishes inside and out to prove it, it’s nestled just outside Claremorris town in the heart of Co Mayo. Castlemacgarrett Park Old is an elegantly designed house that’s energy efficient and ready to walk into. It’s now on the market for €1,250,000.
