Including properties in Westmeath, West Cork and Co. Kildare.

Knockatee, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, €450,000

Spanning 8.2 acres, this four-bedroom home is conveniently located approximately 7km from Mullingar town. Inside, the accommodation comprises a living/dining room, kitchen, study/sitting room, a lounge area, four generous bedrooms – two of which are en-suite – and two bathrooms. 

Named Horse Shoe Cottage, the property also has the added benefit of two stables and a tack room/feed storage area with a large cobble lock yard area. Heating is by means of oil-fired and solid fuel heating, with a wood pellet stove which is also centrally linked.

Currently on the market for €450,000, viewing is recommended and can be arranged through Property Partners McDonnell.

Cooraganive, Skibbereen, West Cork, €495,000 

An extended farmhouse with a two-bed apartment and a range of outbuildings, you’ll find this beautiful family home in Cooraganive near Skibbereen in West Cork. 

The interior is simple yet rustic, with the warm colour palette helping to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere. 

Surrounded by nature and yet just over 6km from Skibbereen town, the property is within easy access of all necessary amenities. 

Currently on the market for €495,000, this home is on sale through Pat Maguire Properties.

Cooleven, Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare, €585,000

Nestled in an idyllic location in Co. Kildare, this property is immersed in nature with a manicured garden, a mature woodland and a babbling brook – a tributary of the River Liffey – nearby. Wildlife thrives in this natural sanctuary, with regular sightings of deer, otters, barn owls and kingfishers throughout the year.

Originally serving as the gate lodge to Stonebrook Estate, Cooleven was rebuilt circa 1989. Thoughtfully decorated to make the most of the space, the interior is bright and modern with an abundance of natural light.

Outside, the grounds are a true paradise for nature lovers. A gravelled patio area offers a tranquil spot to admire the cascading stream and soak in the sounds of nature while an expansive outdoor storage shed provides practical storage solutions, ideal for housing tools and wood supplies.

Currently on the market for €585,000, you can arrange a tour of this picturesque property through Sherry FitzGerald O’Reilly (Naas).
