Blossomhill, Kilcornan, Adare, Co. Limerick

Blossomhill presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored period farmhouse dating from circa 1800, set amidst approximately 40 acres of idyllic countryside, including mature hardwood forestry and a highly unusual truffle-producing hazel woodland. Combining heritage charm with modern comforts, this exceptional property offers a peaceful rural retreat while remaining remarkably accessible to Adare, Limerick City and Shannon Airport.

Approached via traditional stone walls and gated entrance, a sweeping driveway leads through attractive grounds to the farmhouse. The home has been sensitively enhanced and extended over generations of the same family ownership, retaining its authentic character while providing comfortable and stylish family accommodation.

A welcoming sunroom forms the heart of the home, flooding the interior with natural light and offering wonderful views across the surrounding gardens and countryside. Beyond, a cosy sitting room with solid timber flooring and an inset solid fuel stove creates an inviting space in which to relax. A spiral staircase leads to an ensuite bedroom, providing a private guest suite.

The impressive country kitchen is a particular feature, with vaulted ceilings, bespoke cabinetry, solid timber worktops, Belfast sink and traditional solid fuel stove. Terracotta floor tiles and a generous dining space create a warm and convivial atmosphere, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Ancillary accommodation includes a home office, utility area and a well-appointed shower room, while a further staircase rises to an additional double bedroom.

The principal bedroom suite occupies a private wing of the house and is complemented by a luxurious bathroom and extensive fitted storage. This section of the residence offers excellent potential for future reconfiguration or integration with adjoining outbuildings, subject to the necessary consents.

Gardens & Grounds
The grounds surrounding Blossomhill are truly exceptional. A generous, decked terrace directly off the sunroom provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining while enjoying the peace and beauty of the natural surroundings. Carefully maintained lawns, mature planting and low maintenance borders create colour and interest throughout the seasons, while ample gravel car parking and an EV charging point cater to modern requirements.

To the rear, a variety of traditional outbuildings provide excellent storage and future conversion potential, subject to planning permission. In addition, a detached one-bedroom studio with independent access presents ideal guest accommodation, extended family living or home-working opportunities.

Extending beyond the immediate gardens, the mature hardwood forestry has been lovingly cultivated for over three decades and offers a remarkable sense of tranquillity. Meandering pathways invite exploration through the woodland, while a substantial paddock provides further amenity, equestrian or agricultural possibilities.

Of particular note is the carefully managed hazel woodland, established as a productive truffle farm, an exceedingly rare feature within the Irish residential market.

Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, Blossomhill enjoys excellent connectivity. Limerick City Centre is approximately 15km away and can typically be reached within 30 minutes. The property also benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to the national road network connecting to Cork, Galway, Dublin and the wider Midwest region. Shannon Airport, one of Ireland’s most important international gateways, is within approximately 40 minutes drive, providing regular connections to the UK, Europe and North America. Rail services are available from Limerick Colbert Station, offering regular services to Dublin, Galway, Cork and Waterford.

The picturesque heritage village of Adare is within a 15 minute drive and offers an outstanding array of boutique shops, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs. Internationally renowned Adare Manor and Golf Club, host venue for the 2027 Ryder Cup, further enhances the area’s appeal, placing one of Ireland’s most prestigious leisure destinations on the doorstep.

Blossomhill represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a distinctive country home combining character, privacy and exceptional natural beauty, all within one of Munster’s most sought-after locations.
