Description

Perched on a superb elevated site with uninterrupted views of the Shannon River and the rolling countryside beyond, this extraordinary detached residence is a showcase of award-winning architectural design, natural light, and expansive, thoughtfully planned accommodation. Designed by renowned architect Kostas Wootis, a celebrated winner of Home of the Year, this home was envisioned to embrace its unique setting, capturing the sunlight, scenery, and serenity of its surroundings from every angle. Occupying a beautifully landscaped one-acre site, the property stands out not only for its striking appearance but for the intelligence and innovation behind every detail. With clean lines, extensive glazing, and a commanding presence, the home blends contemporary design with functional elegance. Every room has been considered to optimise the site's elevated positioning and to connect harmoniously with the outdoor environment. At the heart of the home lies a dramatic triple-height atrium—a showstopping feature that defines the architectural character of the interior. This spectacular space floods the home with natural light, enhancing the sense of volume and offering uninterrupted vertical sightlines that contribute to the overall feeling of openness and tranquillity. Accommodation is generous and versatile. The primary living areas feature a seamless open-plan flow, connecting a stunning modern kitchen, elegant dining area, and comfortable lounge space, all oriented toward panoramic views. Oversized glass doors lead directly to a sun terrace, ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining, or simply soaking in the breathtaking landscape. The residence includes four spacious double bedrooms, each with expansive windows offering natural light and impressive views. A fifth room, currently used as a study, offers flexibility to serve as a guest bedroom, office, or creative space. The master suite enjoys its own private outlook, built-in storage, and a luxurious en suite bathroom. The property's large basement extends the home's potential even further. Currently configured as a music studio and additional storage space, the basement is fully adaptable and could easily accommodate a granny flat, cinema room, home office, gym, or independent guest accommodation. The layout allows for privacy while maintaining easy access to the main living areas. Externally, the house features a garage with internal access, a landscaped driveway, and extensive lawns. The property's elevated position not only enhances privacy and views but ensures optimal sunlight throughout the day. The location is superb, offering peace and seclusion while remaining incredibly well connected. Positioned just minutes from Cratloe village, the home enjoys access to all local amenities and is within walking distance of the area's famed woodland walks. The M/N18 is easily reached, providing convenient routes to Shannon, Limerick, Ennis, Galway, and Dublin via the tunnel and the property is only a 15 minute drive to Shannon International Airport. This home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique contemporary property that perfectly balances architecture, lifestyle, and location. Whether for a family, a creative professional, or someone seeking an inspiring retreat with urban access, this residence is sure to impress.
