Description

On the rise above Drumkeery Lake, a home sits quiet, finished in 2025, with the air of something timeless. Three bedrooms. Over 1,800 square feet. Just over an acre of ground where water, trees and sky all meet. The house faces southeast, its floor-to-ceiling windows drawing in the sun from morning through to late afternoon. The front rooms open wide onto the water, with unobstructed views that stretch clear across the lake. Inside, it’s all new. Original Irish Homes Limited planned it, redesigned it, remodelled it. The work is clear in every room. Fresh bathrooms and kitchen. New doors, new floors, new light at the flick of a switch. The house has been rewired from the ground up, with high-speed fibre internet available. Beneath it all is a careful build. Timber frame, wrapped in a double layer of insulation. Floors kept warm, attic sealed with 400mm of cover. Triple glazing. Airtight walls. A home that holds its heat, that breathes efficiency. Comfort comes quietly. Electric underfloor heating. An air-to-air recovery system that keeps the air fresh. Solar panels providing hot water and water from the group water scheme. Waste treated by a silent eco-flow biofilter—coconut husk doing the work of nature, odourless and built for life. Step outside and the wildness is what greets you. The garden to the front runs down towards the lake, while to the back the land has been left untamed, intentionally. Trees lean in the breeze. The water holds the sky. And the lake itself is no still picture. It is a lake alive—known for its coarse fishing, for pike and bream. A place where the seasons write themselves on the water. There is planning for a garage, if you want it. But nothing more is needed to give this place its presence. What makes Lake Keepers Lodge rare? It isn’t just a house updated. It’s a house imagined anew. A lakeside home remade for modern living, but still grounded in its landscape. Close to Bailieborough, Kingscourt and Virginia, yet apart. Here, life runs at its own pace. Lake Keepers Lodge is complete and ready. A home of detail, a home of design, and a home that looks out every day onto Drumkeery Lake.
