Go West: Old meets new in the Mayo countryside for €1,250,000
Castlemacgarrett Park Old has a gym, cinema room, games room and even a sauna.
ON FIRST LOOK, this large 725 m² house in the Mayo countryside could be one of the many historic homes that are dotted throughout Ireland. Castlemacgarrett Park Old, however, was only built between 1997 and 1999. The exterior, though, is a 200-year-old stone.
A six-bed luxury home with the finishes inside and out to prove it, it’s nestled just outside Claremorris town in the heart of Co Mayo. Castlemacgarrett Park Old is an elegantly designed house that’s energy efficient and ready to walk into. It’s now on the market for €1,250,000.
Set on a sprawling 38 acres of agricultural land, this striking country home exudes timeless charm with its stone exterior and attention to detail. From the moment you step through to the hallway, you’re greeted with a sense of space and light. The granite flooring in this space gives an idea of the luxury that lies ahead, too.
The ground floor features four main reception rooms that are adorned with exquisite plasterwork and solid mahogany doors. Whether it’s the cosy sitting room or the elegant dining area, each space is designed for both relaxation and entertainment.
The heart of the home is the large kitchen that’s complete with an Aga cooker and French doors that lead to the paved courtyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and ground floor bathroom that offer extra convenience. And its B1 BER is proof that the current owners have prioritised sustainability and cost-saving utility bills.
Upstairs, every one of the six bedrooms is a double and each has its own en suite bathrooms and shower rooms adorned with real marble walls and floors. With scenic views overlooking the estate’s lush surroundings, these bedrooms are nothing if not peaceful.
But the luxury doesn’t end there. The top floor attic features a games room, gym, cinema room and even a sauna. And for some fresh air, the surrounding garden is sure to promote exercise. From the manicured lawn to the vegetable garden, there’s plenty to do and maintain. With direct access to the River Robe, fishing enthusiasts will be very happy.
Location-wise, this modern estate offers the perfect mix of seclusion and accessibility. Just a short drive from Knock airport and Galway city centre, you’ll never be too far from urban amenities while still enjoying the tranquillity of rural living.
