Recognising the rarity of this opportunity is central to appreciating both the value and the unique nature of the sale. Location is equally compelling. Extending to over 2,300 sq. ft., the property is situated in the townland of Kiljames, just 3 km from Thomastown and approximately 20 minutes from Kilkenny.
Thomastown is widely recognised for the excellence of its educational provision, with both primary and secondary schools operating as award-winning centres of learning. The town’s historic core and rich cultural heritage are exemplified by Jerpoint Abbey, a site of significant international interest. In addition, the renowned Mount Juliet Estate, with its hotel, leisure facilities, and championship golf course, is located just a short drive from Kiljames.
Set on approximately 22 acres of grazing land and mature forestry, this partially completed residence has been constructed with clear style, vision, and an emphasis on quality. Kiljames represents a truly compelling opportunity, with the potential for grant support available to assist with the completion and renovation of the house.
Accommodation within the existing completed portion of the property currently comprises a kitchen/dining area, a bathroom, and two bedrooms, allowing for immediate occupation while further works are undertaken. A wonderful window schedule shows the thought given to the property.
The unfinished section offers considerable scope and flexibility. Plans envisage a spacious sitting room with double doors opening to both the front and rear gardens, creating a strong visual and physical connection to the surrounding landscape. Beyond this, a secondary small hallway leads to two additional bedrooms and a potential bathroom, though the configuration remains open to reinterpretation depending on the purchaser’s requirements. A mezzanine opportunity shows above the bedroom spaces and access is from the large living room.
The property also extends over a basement area, which is yet to be completed and offers significant additional potential, whether for storage, workshop use, or further residential accommodation subject to design and specification.
The quality of the completed works is excellent, clearly reflecting a strong vision and a determined effort to create a distinctive and special property. The remaining rooms present as straightforward projects, offering a clear and manageable path to completion.
Location is a key strength. Kilkenny City is within a comfortable 20-minute drive via the R700 and is renowned as one of Ireland’s premier tourist destinations, home to landmarks such as Kilkenny Castle. Waterford is approximately 30 minutes via the M9 motorway, while Dublin is reachable in under two hours. Coastal destinations in Wexford and Waterford can be accessed within 45 minutes, offering a range of scenic beaches.
For commuters, Thomastown Train Station provides regular services to Dublin Heuston, with a journey time of approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes.
The property offers flexibility in how it may be brought to market, with the option to divide and sell as individual lots. The residence can be offered separately from the lands or alternatively combined with a reduced acreage to suit purchaser's requirements.
