Description

Skiathos enjoys an enviable position on the slopes of Forth Mountain, a scenic and sought-after location just minutes from Wexford Town. The property offers a peaceful rural setting with direct access to one of the county’s most popular outdoor areas, where walking trails, panoramic viewing points, and unspoiled natural beauty abound. Just a short stroll away is Carrigfoyle Lake, a tranquil spot perfect for birdwatching, picnics, or enjoying coffee from the seasonal lakeside kiosk. The nearby Forth Mountain Walking Trail provides stunning elevated views of Wexford and beyond, making it a haven for hikers and nature lovers. Everyday amenities are easily accessible, with the vibrant village of Murrintown just 4km away, offering a local shop, post office, pub, takeaway, coffee shop, church, playground, and a highly regarded community centre. Families will appreciate the proximity to Murrintown National School and local childcare facilities, while secondary education options are available nearby in Wexford Town, just 8km from the property. Johnstown Castle Estate and Gardens is also within a 5km drive — a beautifully maintained heritage destination with café, woodland walks, lakes, and formal gardens. For beach lovers, Rosslare Strand — one of Ireland’s finest coastal destinations — is only a 15-minute drive away. Local sports clubs, both in Murrintown and the surrounding area, provide opportunities to get involved in GAA, soccer, tennis, golf, and equestrian activities. Whether you're looking for a quiet rural retreat or easy access to vibrant town life, Skiathos is ideally positioned to enjoy the best of both worlds. Set privately behind stone entrance pillars and a sweeping tarmacadam driveway, Skiathos is a substantial family residence occupying an extensive and private site. Set back from the road and almost hidden from view, the property enjoys an enviable sense of seclusion and privacy, bordered by mature, well-defined boundaries. The expansive front lawns stretch out on either side of the drive, offering an exceptional space for children to run, play, or even enjoy a game of football or hurling, with ample room to spare. Constructed in 2001, this exceptional home extends to approximately c. 368 sq.m. / 3,961 sq.ft., with an additional integral garage spanning approximately c. 48 sq.m. / 517 sq.ft. The accommodation is impressively versatile, thoughtfully arranged to cater to the needs of growing families, multigenerational living, or those who require flexible work-from-home spaces. At its heart, the open-plan layout connects the welcoming entrance hallway to an elegant sunken living area and formal dining space. Bathed in natural light from a series of windows and adorned with warm timber finishes, this central living zone is both spacious and inviting. A red brick fireplace with inset solid fuel stove forms a cosy focal point in the main living room, while the nearby kitchen is a practical and stylish workspace, complete with granite countertops and a central island ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike. The home offers six generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, and a range of additional rooms that allow for incredible flexibility. These rooms include a home office, a music room, a study, a gym, and a second sitting room. There is a family bathroom with bath and separate shower, an additional bathroom, and a guest WC, ensuring the needs of a busy household are comfortably met. One of the standout features of Skiathos is the upper-level suite located above the main living quarters. This is an expansive open-plan space that spans much of the width of the house. This area incorporates an ensuite bedroom, a music room, a study, and a large living zone. Whether used as a teenager’s retreat, a guest suite, or a studio-style home office, this space offers the scale and flexibility rarely found in modern homes. Adjoining the property, the integral garage offers further practicality and potential. Within it, a stud wall partition creates a dedicated games area of approximately c. 32 sq.m. / 344 sq.ft., currently home to a full-size snooker table which is included in the sale. Skiathos combines generous, adaptable accommodation with a truly special site in a peaceful, private setting—all within easy reach of excellent local amenities and services. This is a rare opportunity to secure a standout family home where space, privacy and lifestyle come together with ease.
