Picture yourself waking to the gentle sounds of the Irish countryside, watching morning mist lift over your own 1.23-acre private estate in County Longford's heartland. This two-storey country house in Creagh presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking an authentic Irish retreat with the freedom to create something truly personal, just minutes from the welcoming town of Ballymahon and the emerald landscapes of Ireland's Midlands.
This property sits in a beautifully secluded position yet remains remarkably connected to everyday life. Ballymahon lies just 7km away, Longford town is 25km distant, while Athlone and Mullingar are both within comfortable 30-40 minute drives. This central Midlands location means you're never far from amenities, yet the moment you turn onto the generous road frontage leading to your property, the rhythms of rural Ireland take over. The site itself stretches across approximately 4,978 square meters, offering space that feels increasingly rare in modern Ireland – room to breathe, to garden, to simply be.
The existing house provides an 80-square-meter foundation across two floors, waiting for your vision to bring it to life. The ground floor layout includes a spacious living room measuring 4.76m by 3.60m, a kitchen of 3.16m by 4.10m, and a bathroom. Upstairs, two bedrooms await, one featuring an original cast iron fireplace that speaks to the home's traditional heritage. While the property requires comprehensive modernisation, this is precisely what makes it special for those who want to craft a vacation home that reflects their personal style rather than compromise with someone else's choices.
