CLASSIC ARCHITECTURE, MODERN luxury and natural splendour are the orders of the day at Rathsillan House.
Spanning over 434 m² and nestled on 1.1 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, this Georgian-inspired home was built just 17 years ago.
The property showcases a striking blend of tradition and innovation. A tree-lined avenue, framed by newly installed electric gates, leads to the home’s stately façade, where ivy-draped gables and symmetrical bay windows nod to the grandeur of a bygone era. Inside, however, is a different story – one of soaring spaces, cutting-edge comfort and effortless flow.
From the moment you step into the double-height atrium, flooded with natural light and punctuated by clean architectural lines, it’s clear that this is a home designed to impress. At every turn, bespoke finishes, from marble and solid hardwood flooring to a custom-built library wall, speak to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that underpin the entire home.
The show stopping open plan kitchen and living area is anchored by a double-sided hardwood stove and expansive picture windows that command amazing views over the lake. High-end NEFF appliances, hand-crafted cabinetry and a generous kitchen island make this a natural spot for both family life and entertaining. Underfloor heating runs throughout, offering warmth beneath your feet all year around.
Ideal for those who love to entertain, the property includes multiple terraces on both the main and lower levels, inviting guests to dine, relax or take in the ever-changing landscape. The lower ground floor, measuring just under 100 m², offers additional living, games, or recreation areas, creating a perfect space for families or guests.
With six spacious bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the home offers super flexibility. Several bedrooms have private access to balconies or terraces, while the upper levels enjoy views of the surrounding countryside and shimmering lake. Granite fireplaces and luxuriously appointed bathrooms create a refined yet relaxed atmosphere throughout.
The detached, double-storey garage is finished to the same high standard as the main house and adds another 144 m² of space. Complete with underfloor heating, it lends itself seamlessly to conversion into a studio, guestroom or office.
The exterior grounds are as thoughtfully designed as the interior. Mature trees and sculpted lawns ensure privacy and tranquillity, while the crowning jewel of the outdoor space is a south-facing private jetty. Measuring about 61 m² and equipped with a hydraulic boat lift, it’s an unrivalled vantage point for morning coffees, lakeside lunches or sunset cocktails. Lough Sillan, celebrated for its vibrant water sports community, offers boating, kayaking, water skiing and fishing quite literally on your doorstep.
While undeniably luxurious, Rathsillan House has also been built with sustainability at its heart. With a high BER rating, solar panels, great insulation and a suite of eco-conscious technologies, it offers a guilt-free home where comfort does not come at the environment’s expense.
Situated in the heart of County Cavan’s lakelands, the village of Shercock offers an idyllic blend of small town charm and outdoor adventure. Surrounded by rolling farmland, woodlands and of course, Lough Sillan, it’s a haven for those looking for a life more connected to nature.
Rathsillan House, Shercock, Co Cavan is on the market for €1,250,000 through Lisney Sotheby’s.
