Situated discreetly on the eastern shores of Lough Derg, near the quaint village of Ballinderry in Co. Tipperary, Kilgarvan House quietly holds court on c. 45 acres and includes a private lakeside marina.

Inside, the ambiance is one of graceful refinement, with light-filled spaces adorned with period features. The reception hall with original timber flooring, a central rose, and delicate cornices, sets the tone for the understated luxury found throughout the home.
To the front, overlooking west-facing views, the drawing room boasts a decorative marble chimney piece, while the adjacent conservatory offers seamless access to the south garden and spectacular west facing views. Meanwhile, the family room, with its own marble hearth, provides a cozy retreat for intimate gatherings.
At the rear of the house, the kitchen and dining room embrace their south-facing aspect, inviting culinary endeavours amidst views of the courtyard and beyond. Completing the ground floor are a bright shower room and a utility room, ensuring practicality meets elegance.
