Rathneesty House, Drumnacarra, Ravensdale, Ravensdale, Co. Louth, A91KV05

An exceptional home on a large private site that's nestled at the side of Anaverna Mountain A home that 100% delivers on so many levels, Rathneesty House is a stunner that's quietly tucked away in the Ravensdale area of north County Louth, overlooking Anaverna Mountain. More than simply a spacious, detached 4 bed c 3024 sq ft property on a c 2.66 are site, this home gives ranch-style ‘Yellowstone' vibes, strong sustainability credentials and a private rural setting that combine to make Rathneesty the, dare I say it, WOW home! Situated at the end of a quiet road, but close enough to neighbours, this elegant property is a 10 minute and 5 minute drive to Dundalk and the M1 motorway respectively, and has so many important services and amenities on its doorstep. A buyer seeking convenience to Dublin Airport (95 km) or Belfast City Airport (82 km) will be satisfied, but equally someone yearning for somewhere that's in easy reach of mountain walks, wild sea swimming, a morning coffee in Strandfield or a round of golf or game of Padel in Ballymascanlon House Hotel. The property – a single storey dwelling – enjoys good looks as well as very well presented gardens surrounding. Part of the site is fenced and in grass so it's perfect for grazing a pony, while the remainder is maturely landscaped with excellently positioned east and south facing patios / terraces from which to enjoy the beautiful wood and mountain scene surrounding the house. And the Donegal stone façade makes the house merge perfectly in its surroundings. Entering via a storm porch with feature entry, the property is very cleverly laid out with accommodation assembled around a full height ‘great room' which boasts wonderful solid wood floors, feature beams and a lovely hearth for the solid fuel fire. A step down extension of this wonderful space leads onto an east facing patio. To right, a triple aspect dining room giving onto south facing deck, and linked to a country style kitchen with plenty room for kitchen and chat. Beyond, a well proportioned family snug, utility and guest wc. At the opposite end of the house are the four bedrooms, all of which are of good proportion, as well as an enclosed office with bespoke cabinetry. In particular, two are ensuite with the principle suite offering plenty built in storage, a large ensuite with feature round tub and doors onto the patio outside. A converted attic space offers a wonderful mezzanine that's very much in keeping with the ranch-style of the home, as well as additional storage, totalling an additional 77 sq m. This home has so much to say for itself that a viewing - either virtual or in person - is really the only way to fully appreciate it.
