In an effort to reduce their impact on the environment and incorporate a more sustainable lifestyle, the owners of Robin’s Nest in the idyllic locale of Rosscahill have made welcome eco-transformations to their home over the past few years, including the installation of 16 solar panels two years ago.
In 2022, a large 6.75kw solar system with batteries and solar iboost was installed on the south-facing rear roof of the house. This system has changed their landscape, providing electricity to the house and heating the water tank while exporting surplus electricity to the grid. After integrating one of the most important green energy sources into the home, the owner has not paid any electricity bills since 2022 and has a positive balance on the electricity account.
The rear garden also provides a renewable source of fresh produce, with an organic fruit and vegetable garden providing crops for the house, such as Irish heritage varieties of kale, broccoli, apples, raspberries, strawberries and turnips. Rainwater collected from the roof is used to water the crops in the garden and a large 30ft x 13ft polyshed at the rear of the garden is used to grow tomatoes and cucumbers and extend the growing season for other vegetables. The owners also have a composting facility which helps produce healthy crops.
Robin’s Nest has a south facing cottage garden, a haven for wildlife, with traditional roses, perennials and summer annuals, making it the perfect place to relax. The rear garden is surrounded by fencing and mature hedges, providing privacy and security, while the large mature mixed flower beds in the front garden provide a warm welcome as you enter the estate.
This sustainable property is situated on a mature private plot and has a beautiful open plan kitchen/dining room overlooking the south facing garden, living room, four bedrooms and loft space with great potential and is now for sale for €485,000. For those looking to own an environmentally friendly home and lead a greener life, this property ticks all the boxes.
