NESTLED IN THE serene setting of Moate, this charming property offers a perfect blend of tranquil country living and modern luxury. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Loughcrew hills and Mullaghmeen Forest, this large house is a fusion of traditional Irish design and contemporary elegance.
Located on Church Road, it’s on the market for €575,000 and features five bedrooms and four bathrooms across 270 m².
Architecturally-designed in collaboration with the homeowner, the build pays homage to traditional Irish long house designs. Each room has half-door access that leads to the south-facing outdoor space.
Elegance also meets functionality with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house, strategically positioned to maximise natural light throughout the year. The generous balcony extends along the south-facing length of the house, while the overhanging loggia offers shade during summer and shelter during winter.
Beyond its rustic charm, the home has a great BER of B1, geothermal underfloor heating, a double height mezzanine and a great internet connection, ensuring a super balance of traditional and contemporary living.
The sprawling 2.4 acre site that the house stands on is filled with native trees, from Scots pine to Wild Rose and Crabapple. There are also raised beds, a polytunnel and two converted outbuildings that add to the property’s character as well as potential.
Impeccably landscaped pathways wind through the property, leading to various seating areas strategically placed so the best views of the landscape can be enjoyed. A unique land art piece that’s 75 metres long creates a boundary between the meadow and gardens, sheltering the orchard and acting as a windbreaker.
Location-wise, the property is only a nine minute walk to Ballinacree village, which has a primary school and community centre. The town of Oldcastle is just a short drive away.
