5 Stunning Cottages In Rural Ireland You Can Buy For Less Than €250,000

There is something so attractive about the notion of living in a small cottage in rural Ireland and escaping the rat race and higher prices in the bigger cities.

So, we’ve been looking around the country and playing with a top budget of €250,000 to see what we could find in terms of dream homes. 

Hopefully, you’ll be able to work remotely, find a job rurally, commute or maybe not even need to work anymore.

Either way, it’s time to improve your lifestyle in one of these amazing cottages…

1. Ballyconnigar, Blackwater, Co. Wexford – €230,000

You’ll be getting stunning value here as it comes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and the interior is warm, cosy and full of charm.

2. Rathmaiden, Slane, Co. Meath – €250,000

This is located in the well known village of Slane and the beauty here is the gorgeous stone facade and the fact it comes with plenty of land. There’s one bedroom and one bathroom on the property.

3. Ballinerla, Kilmacow, Co. Kilkenny – €189,000

An absolute steal given how modern the interior is and how much work has gone into this three-bedroom gem.

4. Ballinaclash, Co Wicklow – €230,000

Not far from Dublin and the big draw here is a huge garden to both the front and rear of the house. It has three bedrooms and one bathroom and is located in a Garden Of Ireland.

5. The Bird’s Nest, Glencolmcille, Co. Donegal – €250,000

Exactly what you think of when you visualise an Irish cottage. There’s two bedrooms, it’s set in the middle of nowhere and it is absolute pure and utter coziness.
