Duhan

Duhan is a distinctive architect-designed home, beautifully
stone-clad and boasting an impressive B energy rating, set within approximately
1.5 acres of mature gardens and grounds. Occupying an elevated position, the
property enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across the rolling Wicklow
countryside, a landscape that changes with the seasons and offers a captivating
backdrop throughout the year. From the first light of morning to spectacular
evening sunsets, the outlook is nothing short of exceptional and is undoubtedly
one of the home’s defining features.

There is a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion here.
Surrounded by open countryside, Duhan offers the tranquillity of rural living
without sacrificing convenience. Despite its idyllic setting, the property is
just a five-minute drive from the charming village of Aughrim, widely regarded
as one of Wicklow’s most attractive and vibrant communities. Nestled along the
banks of the River Aughrim and framed by the foothills of the Wicklow
Mountains, Aughrim has repeatedly been recognised in the national Tidy Towns
competition and is renowned for its picturesque streetscape, colourful planting
and strong sense of community.

The village offers an excellent range of amenities including
cafés, pubs, artisan shops, a supermarket, primary school,
playground and a thriving local GAA club. The surrounding area is a haven for
outdoor enthusiasts, with an abundance of walking and cycling routes, forest
trails and equestrian pursuits. The nearby Macreddin Valley, home to the
renowned BrookLodge & Macreddin Village, provides luxury dining and spa
experiences, while golf enthusiasts are exceptionally well catered for with championship
courses at Macreddin Golf Club, Arklow Golf Club and Coollattin Golf Club all
within easy reach.

The house itself is spacious, welcoming and presented in
pristine condition throughout. Thoughtfully designed to accommodate modern
family life, the generous reception rooms offer excellent flexibility, allowing
for cosy, intimate spaces when desired or, by opening the interconnecting
double doors, creating a seamless flow that is perfectly suited to entertaining
on a larger scale. Large windows frame the surrounding landscape, ensuring the
spectacular views remain a constant feature of everyday life.

The accommodation is both practical and versatile. A guest
bedroom at ground-floor level complements three spacious first-floor bedrooms,
making the layout ideal for growing families, visiting guests or
multi-generational living. The overall atmosphere is one of warmth and comfort,
creating a home that is equally suited to relaxed family living as it is to
hosting family and friends.

Outside, the gardens provide ample space for children to
explore, keen gardeners to indulge their passion or simply to sit back and
appreciate the remarkable setting. The elevated site allows the eye to wander
over an ever-changing patchwork of fields, woodland and distant hills,
capturing the very essence of County Wicklow’s celebrated natural beauty. There
is also scope for further expansion, subject to the necessary planning
permission, while those with equestrian interests may consider the addition of
stables, with excellent hacking and horse trekking opportunities available
throughout the surrounding countryside.

Duhan is a home that offers the very best of country living:
privacy and tranquillity, spectacular views that can never be built out, and
easy access to one of Wicklow’s most beloved villages. Whether as a permanent
family residence or an idyllic weekend and holiday retreat, it represents a
rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle defined by space, scenery and the
enduring charm of the Garden of Ireland.
