Standing on a mature private site, the property enjoys exceptional privacy while remaining close to every amenity required for modern family living.
Athy town centre is approximately 1km from the property and offers an extensive range of amenities including excellent primary and secondary schools, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, hotels, sporting clubs, healthcare facilities and a regular commuter rail service to Heuston Station.

In addition, the recently opened Shackleton Museum Athy has quickly established itself as one of the town's principal visitor attractions, celebrating Athy's unique connection with the renowned Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton.
The opening of the Athy Southern Distributor Road has transformed accessibility, removing decades of traffic congestion from the town centre while significantly improving connections to the surrounding towns and the M9 Motorway.
