Property info

This offers exclusive use of a charming historic river house normally configured to sleep 14 guests. With extra beds, sofa beds and utility rooms, it is possible to accommodate 20+ people comfortably. There is a large drawing room and a dining room with seating for up to 20 people. The kitchens feature a two-door Aga and a gas cooker, and utensils, crockery and cutlery. The house has extensive river frontage and large gardens with walks overlooking the Shannon river, the viking construction on St Thomas's island and the former church of St Patrick's and across to historic Limerick City. 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 the significant history associated with this house, it is a unique 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 stands 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. It is possible to walk to the point where the two water courses meet and picnic. Fishing is also available on the River Shannon, where Salmon, Trout and Pike are popular catches. St Patrick's is a de-consecrated Church of Ireland church that served the Parteen community until the 1950s. It was sold to the O'Briens in the 1990s and is under renovation. The house was neglected for a while and work is underway to restore the estate to its former splendour.
