“Once in a lifetime” opportunity to acquire this unique heritage listed Georgian home constructed c1765. Steeped in history and architectural heritage, this house was built for Arthur Blennerhasset and named for his wife, Arabella. Many of the original features still remain including the cut stone Doric door case, double return staircase, decorative plaster ceilings & coving to name a few!

Arabella House is nestled in a peaceful countryside location providing a restful and serene environment that is truly exceptional, while just 8km from Tralee and 11km from Castleisland and their amenities.

The welcoming entrance hall is central to the accommodation and provides access to the formal dining room, sitting room, study/library, kitchen, powder room and entry to the large basement that spans the whole footprint of the property.

In addition, Arabella House incorporates five large double bedrooms to the first floor, one ensuite, one bathroom and an expansive landing. Two of the front bedrooms and the sitting and dining rooms boast stunning bay windows that drench them in natural light.

Standing on approximately 7.9 acres (3.2 ha) of fine limestone land, the multiple areas around the house are peppered with mature specimen trees, old and new orchards, flowering plants and shrubs and well laid out paddocks. A stream also flows through the property. The tarmac access driveway with its gentle curves, leads you to the impressive front facade of the property and a forecourt with ample parking for cars. To the rear of the property there are remains of a farmyard complex with various stone-built out-buildings (stables, byre, etc.) defining a large courtyard.

The property has been kept in a natural way and for a period was a listed organic holding. No chemicals have been used in growing or weed control for at least the last quarter century. This has resulted in a safe and natural environment where birds and bees have thrived and a wonderful living experience for all.
