A unique Dundalk home, which went on the market last June for a whopping €1.65 million has had its asking price cut by more than 42%.
The six bed country house at Deerpark, Kilkerley – close to Killin Golf Club – had its asking price reduced by €700,000 on Monday to €950,000.
The stunning home is set in private parkland of almost 33.5 acres and is being sold by Sherry FitzGerald Carroll and Christie’s.

According to the brochure, the home is “architecturally designed to the current owner’s specification. The interior is spacious, minimal yet comfortable and the exacting attention to detail is clear throughout. The beauty of this family home are the spacious rooms, tall ceilings and numerous floor to ceiling windows in the main living area which creates fantastic light and offers an indoor outdoor mix of living.
“There is a detached purpose built stable building with horse boxes and another detached building split into 2 large stores. Elsewhere on the site there is a detached derelict residence and ruins of an historic interest. The lands are of good quality grazing land, which is laid out in a number of manageable paddocks. The lands are suitable for all types of agricultural use.
“On entering this stunning property one is greeted by a large vestibule leading into the kitchen/breakfast room, which is a large open plan area with the benefit of large windows on both sides. There is a natural flow through this property with the lower ground floor dedicated to a self-contained au pair/granny apartment next to a comprehensive entertainment and relaxation space/games room big enough to take a full size snooker table together with gym, sauna room and mud room leading onto a large double garage.”
It is understood that the property is currently owned by Peter and Tia McCaughey. Peter is a prominent developer and director of McCaughey Developments Limited, which built a number of housing estates in and around Dundalk, including the likes of Castle Ross.
Peter is also the current managing director of IJM Timber Engineering, which has carried out work on a range of hotels and nursing homes nationwide, including Moorehall in Ardee.
Local businessman Padraig Herr of Cadran was the architect for the property, which was only granted planning permission as recently as May 2006.
There is a protected structure on the site – three basement walls of a 17th Century house known as Taffy Jenny’s Court, showing early signs of brickwork and vaults.
