We might be heading into summer but Winterwood is a home that will definitely warm your heart.
This stunning 4 bed luxury property sits on a prominent 2.95 acre site overlooking Lough Derg in Derrycastle, just outside Ballina, Co Tipperary.
As well as the breathtaking views, the home offers 335sqm of living space, as well as complete privacy and an extraordinary collection of bespoke lifestyle features rarely found within a single home.
Originally constructed in 2003, Winterwood was comprehensively renovated in 2022 to an exceptional standard that makes it ready for a new owner to move into.
It’s fair to say a home like this does not come on the market every day.
Positioned on a mature, fully enclosed southwest-facing site, Winterwood enjoys uninterrupted lake views, beautifully landscaped gardens and extensive decking designed to maximise sunlight and outdoor living.
The accommodation is spacious, versatile and thoughtfully designed for modern family living, entertaining and creative pursuits.
A striking six-metre-high atrium-style entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival.
The principal reception spaces flow effortlessly, with the kitchen, dining and living areas seamlessly connected.
At the heart of the home is the spectacular living room, featuring a dramatic five-metre pitched floor-to-ceiling glazed wall framing uninterrupted lake views. A solid fuel stove adds warmth and atmosphere, while double doors open onto a semi-enclosed terrace.
The kitchen is beautifully finished with herringbone tiled flooring, quartz worktops, mirrored splashbacks, bespoke cabinetry with walnut inlay, a bay window seating nook and a large mixed quartz and walnut island with integrated Neff appliances. Thoughtfully elevated above the adjoining dining area, both spaces fully capture the panoramic views. The adjoining wet bar, complete with guest WC access, makes entertaining effortless.
The principal suite is a luxurious private retreat featuring a large picture window, elegant electric flame-effect fireplace, beautifully appointed ensuite with freestanding bath and walk-in wardrobe. A separate bespoke dressing room offers floor-to-ceiling custom-fitted wardrobes and a dedicated preparation area.
Double doors open directly onto a private terrace with a sunken jacuzzi, offering an uninterrupted view of the lake.
A second ground-floor bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite bathroom.
Upstairs, a striking triangular glazed picture window floods the upper floor with natural light while overlooking the living room and lake beyond. Two further bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and large pitched windows, enjoy beautiful garden and water views, while a spacious storage room and large family bathroom complete the accommodation.
A standout feature is the unique outdoor entertainment and music recording den, styled as a traditional Irish pub, complete with fitted bar, stage area, wood-burning stove and multiple seating areas. This is an exceptional and exciting entertainment space.
The grounds enjoy a full 360-degree aspect and are complemented by extensive decking, mature beech hedging, established trees, colourful planting, a substantial 13m x 6m warehouse/hangar and the rare addition of a private helicopter pad. Electric gates, CCTV, alarm system, fibre broadband and EV charging further enhance this exceptional home.
The location is also fantastic. Winterwood is situated in the highly desirable Derrycastle area of Ballina, Co Tipperary, a picturesque and sought-after location on the eastern shore of Lough Derg.
Ballina itself is a historic riverside town where the River Shannon meets the lake, and, together with its twin town Killaloe on the opposite bank, offers a vibrant yet tranquil setting for modern living.
The area enjoys excellent natural amenities, including scenic waterside walks, outdoor recreational opportunities and a variety of local eateries, cafes and boutique shops just minutes from the property with easy road connections to surrounding towns and regions.
The nearby Killaloe Bridge, a cherished local landmark, links the communities of Ballina and Killaloe, enhancing social and commercial connectivity and adding to the region's unique charm and lifestyle appeal.
The nearest major airport to the region is Shannon Airport, approximately 68km (about a 45-minute drive), offering a wide range of scheduled flights across Europe and beyond.
With its blend of lakeside beauty, community facilities, and easy access to amenities, this location offers a perfect balance of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience.
Boasting a rare combination of architectural design, privacy, modern luxury and lifestyle amenities, Winterwood represents a truly distinctive lakeside residence in one of County Tipperary's most scenic locations.
