Welcome to The Residence Ashford — an architectural sanctuary bordered by a private five-star estate and a forest on the edge of Cong village. Here, modern design meets ancient woodland. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames forest canopy and rolling fields. Polished concrete beneath your feet. Birds provide the morning soundtrack. By evening, the trees whisper goodnight. This is not merely a house. It is a curated architectural experience, designed to harmonize with the rugged beauty of Ireland’s west while delivering seamless contemporary luxury. Enjoy breakfast in morning sun. Unwind with wine at dusk. Sit beneath the stars in complete privacy — yet only minutes from vibrant village life. From your bedroom windows, you can glimpse the historic Guinness Tower rising through the trees — a quiet reminder of the estate’s heritage. This is a home designed not just to be looked at, but to be experienced. We look forward to welcoming you.
