Glenribbeen Eco Lodge, Lismore, P51ND92

Set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens and enjoying a sunny south-facing aspect, Brian Gleeson Property are delighted to bring to the market Glenribbeen Eco Lodge. This a truly unique detached residence offering an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in one of Ireland's most scenic locations. Just a stone's throw from the majestic Blackwater River and only a short drive from the historic heritage town of Lismore, this inviting three-bedroom, three-bathroom home combines award-winning sustainability with flexible family living and an unrivalled connection to nature.

Originally awarded Europe's highest accolade for Eco-Accommodation in 2009, the property continues to benefit from extensive green credentials. Designed to operate as close to passive-house standards as possible, this B1 rated home benefits from extensive insulation, solar water heating, rainwater harvesting systems, photovoltaic solar panels with battery storage, blackout blinds and thoughtful heat-retention features throughout resulting in exceptionally low running costs. The current owners have not paid an electricity bill since the installation of the solar system, which includes a 10kW solar array, hybrid inverter and 15kWh battery storage system. The property is also equipped with fibre broadband and excellent mobile connectivity, making it ideal for modern remote working.

The spacious accommodation includes a bright living area with wood-burning stove, modern kitchen, three ensuite bedrooms and a large attic space ideal for storage or creative use. The versatile property includes a fully equipped basement, offering excellent potential as a self-contained family annex, making it ideal for multi-generational living or family members.

The mature gardens are a particular highlight, featuring raised beds, a greenhouse, fruit trees, woodland access with the tranquil sound of a stream meandering over its rocky bed, and a variety of recreational spaces, including outdoor entertaining areas for archery and boules.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the wealth of nearby activities along the Blackwater River, including fishing, swimming, canoeing, and scenic riverside walks. Beyond the river, the surrounding countryside offers excellent opportunities for cycling, golf, sailing, horse riding, cricket, tennis, and a range of water sports. The heritage town of Lismore, renowned for its castle and gardens, excellent schools, cafés, restaurants, cultural festivals, and vibrant arts scene, is just minutes away, providing the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and community life. Dungarvan, Youghal, the Knockmealdown Mountains, and The Vee are all within easy reach, further enhancing the area's exceptional lifestyle appeal.

Despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Cork Airport and soon to re-open Waterford Airport provides an extensive range of domestic and international connections. Dublin is easily accessible via the national road network, making the property an ideal base for those seeking a rural lifestyle without compromising on connectivity, business travel, or access to the capital.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an award-winning, spacious, eco-property that’s packed with potential in one of Ireland's most scenic and sought-after locations.
