Property information

This is a beautiful single storey period house on the banks of the River Shannon. It has strong links to the O'Brien chieftains, being built by the son of the Young Ireland Leader, William Smith O'Brien, himself a direct descendant of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland and passed on down through his direct family line since. Apart from its significant history this house is an architectural gem, built by the eccentric Donough O'Brien and has inspired famous artists from the O'Brien family, such as Dermot O'Brien whose art dominates the National Gallery, Cicely O'Brien and Geraldine O'Brien who painted from her studio in the house. The House is sandwiched between the tail race from the Ardnacrusher Power Station and the River Shannon, and is protected from sight of Limerick City Centre - less than 1 mile away - by Thomas's Island. We are also within walking distance of Thomond Park Stadium, (30 minutes). Fishing is also available on the River Shannon, where Salmon, Trout and Pike are popular catches.

Neighbourhood information

Parteen village is in County Clare, but less than a mile away (as the crow flies) from Limerick City. There are local supermarkets, restaurants and deliveries.
