Cooleven, Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare, €585,000

Nestled in an idyllic location in Co. Kildare, this property is immersed in nature with a manicured garden, a mature woodland and a babbling brook – a tributary of the River Liffey – nearby. Wildlife thrives in this natural sanctuary, with regular sightings of deer, otters, barn owls and kingfishers throughout the year.

Originally serving as the gate lodge to Stonebrook Estate, Cooleven was rebuilt circa 1989. Thoughtfully decorated to make the most of the space, the interior is bright and modern with an abundance of natural light.

Outside, the grounds are a true paradise for nature lovers. A gravelled patio area offers a tranquil spot to admire the cascading stream and soak in the sounds of nature while an expansive outdoor storage shed provides practical storage solutions, ideal for housing tools and wood supplies.

Currently on the market for €585,000, you can arrange a tour of this picturesque property through Sherry FitzGerald O’Reilly (Naas).
