The property

Marie’s Country Home is a well-presented bungalow located near Ardee, County Louth.

Enjoying spectacular countryside views and a setting well suited to families and friends, with all accommodation arranged on one level, this property offers en-suite facilities alongside generous outdoor space with a hot tub.

Parking the car on the tarmac driveway, the first impression of Marie’s Country Home is striking.

Set on an elevated site within a working family farm just outside Ardee, the detached bungalow feels both impressive and grounded in its rural surroundings.

The front of the property rises with a sense of presence, while rolling countryside stretches out in every direction, creating a majestic arrival.

Step inside from the rear and the countryside follows you in.

Full-length glazing runs the length of the bungalow, flooding the interior with natural light and keeping those open views in sight wherever you are.

A practical utility room and nearby cloakroom sit close to the entrance, handy for families arriving with muddy boots and full bags, leaving the rest of the home feeling calm and uncluttered.

The kitchen and dining area is where life happens.

Warm wooden fixtures and country finishes give it a genuine, grounded feel.

Whether you're slow-cooking on the oil range or gathering everyone around the table for a long, lazy breakfast, there's room here for everyone.

The sitting room carries the same unhurried warmth.

Sink into a leather sofa, let the gas fire do its work, and when the evening calls for it, the doors open straight onto the rear patio as the countryside glows beyond.

Four comfortable double bedrooms each have their own character, calming blues, soft purples, gentle greys, with two benefiting from private en-suites for a little extra privacy.

Stepping outside the rear garden fully delivers on its setting.

Rolling countryside unfolds across multiple counties, offering ever-changing views that feel expansive and dramatic.

The sunken patio is a standout feature, thoughtfully positioned to make the most of the outlook, with subtle lighting that transforms the space as dusk falls.

Outdoor furniture invites long evenings outdoors, while the hot tub becomes the perfect place to sink into warm water and take in the wide horizon under the open sky.

A shop, pub and riverside walks are all within easy reach, while Ardee town sits just beyond the surrounding farmland.

For days out, Dundalk offers coastal walks along the bay, lively streets filled with cafés and shops, and views towards the Cooley Mountains.

Navan combines riverside paths, historic streets and traditional pubs that anchor the town’s character.

Bettystown provides a classic seaside escape, where long sandy beaches invite unhurried walks, the sound of the sea sets the pace, and nearby cafés make natural stopping points after time on the shore.

Marie’s Country Home is ideally placed for exploring Ireland’s Ancient East, a region rich in 5,000 years of history, myth and culture.

Just 15 minutes away, the world‑famous Newgrange prehistoric monument offers a remarkable step back in time.

The property is conveniently located around 40 minutes from Dublin Airport, one hour from Dublin, and approximately an hour from Belfast, with easy access to the M1 making travel effortless.

Ardee itself is home to the well‑known Jumping Church, a unique local landmark steeped in folklore, while families will enjoy memorable days out at Emerald Park, just 40 minutes away.

Make Marie’s Country Home your base for sweeping countryside views, historic adventures and big‑city day trips, before returning home to unwind, watch the light soften over County Louth, and enjoy peaceful evenings under open skies.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of €450.
