A unique family home with a storied past and a sustainable future has come on the market in Kilkenny.
Mount Coggill, a former medieval farmhouse extensively rebuilt and redesigned, now stands as a striking example of modern eco-living.
Located on approximately 32 acres of land encompassing woodland, meadows and expertly designed gardens, the property was rebuilt under the guidance of renowned UK architect Roderick James.
Acclaimed composer Barry Guy and violinist Maya Homburger led the transformation, culminating in 2004.
The main residence features a dramatic double-height reception space originally envisioned as a concert hall, now repurposed with a central stove and floor-to-ceiling windows.
The layout includes a galley kitchen with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, a second kitchen, two ground-floor bedrooms and a mezzanine lounge. Two more bedrooms and a wet room occupy the upper level.
A self-contained studio apartment with its own west-facing terrace is also included.
The grounds consist of 20 acres of forestry, nine acres of meadowland currently let to a local farmer, and two acres of gardens crafted by renowned garden designer Helen Dillon.
