Set within approximately 10 acres of mature, private grounds just a short walk from the town of Cappoquin in West Waterford, Richmond House is a truly exceptional estate. This rare offering includes not just one, but three distinct and fully self-contained residences: Richmond House, Richmond Villa and The Stables.
At the centre of the estate stands the original Richmond House, a grand and historic country home built in 1704 by the Earl of Cork.
Rich in character and beautifully preserved, the house has been thoughtfully restored over the years and retains all the charm expected of an early 18th-century residence.
The scale and elegance of the main house are immediately apparent, from its gracious proportions to its high ceilings and original fireplaces.
Currently operating as an award-winning boutique guest house and fine dining destination, Richmond House is perfectly suited to continue in this capacity, but could just as easily transition into a luxurious private residence or a hybrid use, blending home and business. The layout offers great flexibility, with accommodation spread across three floors.
Accompanying the main house are two further homes, each fully independent with their own entrances and gardens. These additional dwellings add enormous value and potential to the estate, whether used for extended family, guests, or as income-generating rental properties.
The first, Richmond Villa, measures 141 square metres, while the second residence, known as The Stables, is a beautifully converted home measuring 231 square metres.
Altogether, these three homes create a complete and self-contained estate rarely seen on the market.
The combination of historical significance, architectural beauty, privacy, and practical layout makes this a truly unique opportunity. Richmond House is currently on the market for €1.75 million.
The location adds further appeal. Richmond House sits on the edge of the River Blackwater and is surrounded by a landscape of unspoiled natural beauty.
Cappoquin itself is a charming and close-knit town with a strong sense of community, active sports clubs, and a vibrant cultural life. Nearby, the heritage town of Lismore, home to the famous castle and the Lismore Opera Festival, is just a five-minute drive away.
The bustling seaside town of Dungarvan and Waterford Greenway are within easy reach, and both Waterford and Cork airports are approximately an hour away by car.
This is a property that offers so much more than a beautiful home. It offers history, scale, and the kind of versatility that makes it suitable for many different lifestyles. Whether used as a private residence, a hospitality business, or a blend of both, the chance to acquire three independent homes within one stunning estate is extraordinarily rare.
