Nestled in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains just outside the village of Rathnure, Co Wexford, Monamolin promises country living with convenience and potential, offering scope to shape the holding to suit a range of future uses.

Set along the roadside, the traditional ivy-clad two-storey farmhouse combines character with practical appeal, overlooking rolling countryside and dramatic landscapes. To the front, mature gardens and trees provide a sense of seclusion, while the surrounding countryside creates a peaceful rural setting. Well maintained over the years, the spacious and comfortable three-bedroom home is ready for immediate occupation, with central heating, a solid fuel stove and double-glazed windows.

Beyond the house, the yard is independently accessed from the road through a secure electric gate, with a concreted hardstanding forming its centre and providing ample space for machinery manoeuvring.
