A four-bedroom Irish home with a unique backstory has hit the market, and it just so happens to sit next door to Bono’s latest whiskey venture. 

Located in Ballykelly, Monasterevin, the two-storey house is right beside the future Church of Oak distillery, a major tourist project backed by U2 frontman Bono.

Set on a mature half-acre site with a vegetable patch, garage, and south-facing conservatory, the 1960s-built home offers both charm and potential.

The property sits directly beside the rapidly developing distillery project, which auctioneer Matt Dunne says could give it commercial potential due to future footfall.

With four double bedrooms, original features like a white marble fireplace, and views of the old mill race, it’s sure to garner considerable interest. It is listed with an asking price of €375,000 on Daft.ie.
