This Georgian-style Meath home sits in its own fairytale forest

Ratholdren House has oak, apple and beech trees outside – and lots of charm inside too.

If you have Google Cardboard or another VR headset, you can enjoy a full 3D experience by tapping the ‘goggles’ icon. 

MANY PEOPLE MAY be surprised to learn that Ratholdren House is a mere twelve years old, and not, in fact, a property that dates back to the Georgian era.

An impressive five-bedroom family home sitting in the Meath countryside, the property is 2km from Navan, meaning new home owners can have the best of both town and rural life. Explore it now using the VR tour above, supported by KBC.

Although it has list of modern features, the layout has a period feel to it, with large rooms and high ceilings. The 4,545 sq ft home is on sale for €795,000.
