Laois property described as ‘a modern classic’ sells for €650,000

A Laois property described as “a modern design classic” has recently sold for an eye-catching €650,000.

Although still very early in the year, the price-tag will surely make this one of the most expensive properties that will be sold in Laois for all of 2025.

The five-bedroom property in Cappagh North, Ballyfin, was brought to market by Hume Auctioneers, who said:

“A modern design classic, strikingly beautiful and massively spacious, this spectacular five-family home is breathtakingly impressive with every conceivable feature of a luxury family home.

“This delightful residence is amongst the very finest to come on the market in recent years.

“The property is constructed to an extraordinarily high standard and its B1 BER rating is not just testament to its green credentials, but also confirms a home that has been built to the most exacting standards.”

The property boasts almost 4,000 square-feet of luxurious accommodation with a further 1000 square-feet over two floors in the garage and gym area, all set on a magnificent 1.1acre site.

Electric gates open onto a tarmacadam driveway as mature shrubbery reveals a “dramatic and stunning” residence.

The entrance hall leads to a massive triple-aspect kitchen dining living space, with the kitchen area including fitted presses and a large island.

The living area enjoys floor to ceiling windows and a feature central fireplace with wood pellet stove.

The dining area comes with a vaulted ceiling and double height windows which lead to an beautiful wraparound balcony.
