Aobh House, Ballycahane, Crecora, Co Limerick, V35TC79

Aobh House is a residence of rare distinction. It is a statement of design excellence, where heritage and modern luxury are woven into an exceptional living experience. Conceived and owned by its architects, and completed in 2019 to uncompromising standards, this extraordinary split-level residence is a triumph of vision, craftsmanship, and setting. A home that fuses sleek contemporary sophistication with enduring Irish farmhouse vernacular and iconic details that set it apart as singularly unique. This is a home where every line, material, and proportion has been thoughtfully curated to balance drama with intimacy, grandeur with comfort, and design innovation with timeless resonance. From the moment one enters, the soaring double-height, split-level entrance hall establishes the tone. White polished-concrete feature stairs form a sculptural centerpiece, leading fluidly into a series of exquisitely orchestrated spaces, both expansive and inviting. At the heart of the home lies the vaulted kitchen/dining/family room, a barrel-ceilinged showpiece where light and volume converge. A dramatic frameless glass picture window, paired with an inviting wood-burning stove, creates a striking focal point of warmth, while two expansive sets of glazed bi-fold doors erase the threshold between interior and exterior, opening wide to unveil a landscaped courtyard and gardens, immersing the space in natural light. A bespoke waterfall granite island with copper-lined sink, integrated storage, and pop-up sockets transforms culinary preparation into a statement of refined functionality. A fully fitted walk-in larder extends the luxury of this space, offering open shelving, wine storage, coffee station, and refrigeration for effortless entertaining. Balancing the home’s open-plan grandeur are thoughtfully designed retreats: a cozy family den, anchored by a wood-burning stove and framed by an impressive picture window overlooking the courtyard. A gracefully curved-ceiling cinema room, discreetly positioned on a private first floor and accessed via a staircase from the kitchen, offers an exceptional sanctuary that easily transforms into a guest suite or flexible living/working space. The bathrooms echo this same commitment to refined design and comfort, appointed with herringbone tiling, floating oak shelving, quartz vanity surfaces, sculptural vessel sinks, elegant taps, and indulgent Hansgrohe rain-shower fittings. The sleeping quarters on the first floor unveil a serene master suite with tranquil views over the garden and a bespoke ceiling-to-floor sliding door wardrobe system. Two further double bedrooms of generous proportion and a beautifully detailed family bathroom complete the private domain. Every space resonates with a sense of calm refinement. Beyond its walls, Aobh House continues to enchant. A gated, sweeping drive curves toward ample parking and a detached garage. Professionally designed, landscaped gardens unfold in a series of experiences: intimate seating enclaves, imaginative planting schemes, and sunlit seating areas that follow the day’s shifting light. An old famine wall confers both gravitas and authenticity, anchoring the residence in the heritage of the land, while native hedgerows and trees form a living connection to Ireland’s enduring landscape traditions. Secluded yet supremely connected, Aobh House enjoys the tranquillity of its pastoral setting while being moments from the villages of Crecora and Croom, each with excellent schools and sporting amenities. Prestigious Adare and Limerick golf courses are within 12 minutes reach, while the M7 ensures swift access to Limerick City (15 minutes), Shannon, Cork and Dublin.
