Cahermoyle reportedly means the stone fort of the soft ground and there appears to be the remains of such a fort nearby, dating back about 2,000 years.
The main house was constructed in the early 1870s by Edward O`Brien, replacing an earlier house that had been occupied by his grandmother, the Dowager Lady O`Brien, in the early 1850s
The house is designed in a palazzo style, incorporating elements of Venetian, Tuscan, Romanesque, and Gothic architecture. A local historian has noted that the building would appear more typical of a Venetian canal setting than of its rural location.
A number of architectural details are most evident in the double height entrance lobby. These features were influenced by a member of the O`Brien family and by J.J. McCarthy, the architect of the original house, a nineteenth century Gothic Revival architect also responsible for the cathedrals at Armagh and Cobh.
Location :- The region is served by various transport links, connecting Limerick to major cities and other regional centres across Ireland.
Cahermoyle House benefits from accessible road connectivity. Just a 10-minute drive (7 km) to Newcastle West, providing access to essential services and shops whilst Limerick city is approximately 45 minutes away by car (around 40 km). A significant highlight is its close proximity to Adare Manor, the world-renowned five-star resort and future host of the Ryder Cup in September 2027, which is only 20 minutes away by car, enhancing its appeal for high-end leisure. Dublin is accessible in just over 2 hours via the M7 motorway.
