New to the market Jordan Auctioneers are selling this beautiful, spacious, architect-designed family home close to Portlaoise town & M7 Motorway. This super energy-efficient property (B1 BER) comes with top quality land & small stone cottage.

This property is in an excellent location less than 3km from the M7 giving direct and easy  access to a range of destinations including Dublin 90km, Cork 170km, Carlow 38 km, Kilkenny 50km and Tullamore 34 km.  Portlaoise is also served by a regular train and bus service to Dublin. Combined with easy accessibility the property is in a lovely country setting surrounded by agricultural land and close to historic towns of Abbeyleix 10km and Durrow 20km respectively.

This is a modern and environmentally friendly house built in 2005 by the vendor and extending to c.342 sq.m (3,681 sq.ft). It is a two storey over basement residence architecturally designed and constructed by a Canadian company using ICF (Nudura). Its superbly efficient design ensures low running cost and a splendid circular open plan design perfectly suited to family living.

The concept around a Nudura Performance home is based on comfort, energy efficiency and indoor air quality. The focus when the house was built centred on creating a home that was energy efficient, comfortable and healthy to live in, durable and easy to maintain with less impact on the environment.

The house is approached via a recessed entrance and short winding gravel drive. Its elevated position overlooks the balance of the land including a small wood and there are mature gardens including various raised beds, lawn, large tunnel and kitchen garden interspersed with shrubs, hedging and some fruit and native trees. There is also vehicular access to the basement area of the house and there is an existing double shed which can be used for any number of purposes.

There is a derelict cottage located to the front of the holding and which was originally used by Clonad GAA. It offers an abundance of potential upon renovation including as a self contained residence, home office, studio or recreation room.

The land is predominantly in grass with extensive road frontage. It is all good quality with circa 1.8 acres in timber. There are natural boundaries and hedgerows throughout and the land would be ideal for an hobby farmer or outdoor enthusiasts.

The property is for sale by Private Treaty and Jordans are quoting €495,000 for the entire and additional information is available from Clive Kavanagh of the selling agents.
