Teach Duinn Shleibhe, Adamstown, Castletown Geoghegan, Castletown-Geoghegan, Co. Westmeath, N91A6X2
A Truly Unique Restored Thatched Cottage on c.17 Acres of Private Woodland
Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.
Property Partners McDonnell are proud to present "Teach Duinn Shléibhe", a beautifully restored stone thatched cottage dating back to c.1820, standing on approximately 17 acres of secluded mature woodland and forestry in one of County Westmeath's most peaceful and picturesque locations.
Hidden away at the end of a quiet country cul-de-sac, this enchanting property offers complete privacy while remaining just 1km from Castletown Geoghegan Village, 12 minutes from Mullingar, and only 5 minutes from the M6 motorway, making it the perfect balance of rural tranquility and modern convenience.
Lovingly restored over the years, the cottage retains many of its original character features including traditional flagstone flooring, wood-paneled ceilings, stable-style front door and an inviting solid fuel stove that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
The accommodation comprises a spacious sitting room, fully fitted country-style kitchen/dining room, utility room, ground floor shower room and three charming first-floor bedrooms, each enjoying delightful views over the surrounding countryside and woodland.
Outside, the property offers an outstanding collection of traditional stone outbuildings including former stables, cow byres, pump house, workshop and fuel store, providing excellent potential for hobby farming, equestrian enthusiasts, artists, craftspeople or a wide variety of lifestyle uses (subject to any necessary planning permission).
The surrounding woodland, planted approximately 20 years ago with mainly Alder and Beech trees, creates a magical natural setting rich in wildlife and offers endless opportunities for walking, recreation or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of your own private forest.
Whether you're seeking a unique family home, country retreat, hobby farm, holiday residence or investment in a truly special property, "Teach Duinn Shléibhe" is a home that simply cannot be replicated.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, privacy and lifestyle this remarkable property has to offer.
