New energy-efficient homes in Navan, Co Meath from €415,000

Address : Robinrath, off Commons Road, Navan, Co Meath Price : €415,000 Agent : Hooke & MacDonald and T&J Gavigan View this property on Cairn Homes will release the first phase of its Robinrath scheme in Navan , Co Meath this Saturday, June 7th. A mix of energy-efficient three-bedroom homes (with two- and three-bedroom duplexes, and four-bedroom homes to launch later this year) will be available through joint selling agents Hooke & MacDonald and T&J Gavigan. Located off Commons Road, a 20-minute walk to Navan town centre, the site layout includes crescents that neatly loop around parks framed by mature native hedgerows. One of Ireland's two publicly listed housebuilders along with Glenveagh Properties, Cairn Homes, which built 2,593 new homes in Ireland last year, says the scheme was designed with a 'commitment to biodiversity' whereby many mature trees were retained coupled with new plantings 'in an effort to protect and restore local wildlife'. With a focus on green spaces, prospective owners will appreciate the rear gardens and planned playgrounds close to the town, where the rivers Boyne and Blackwater converge. Its location close to Robinrath Stream, a tributary of the river Boyne, is named after the ancient Irish term robin's rath or robin's fort, which is a ringfort from the medieval period. Situated about a 45-minute commute from Dublin, 35 minutes from Dublin Airport and a 20-minute trip from the Unesco World Heritage site of Newgrange , Robinrath is also close to the magical group of Neolithic passage tombs at Loughcrew. Spread over four undulating peaks that date back to 3,000 BC, it's a place where people gather at the spring and autumn equinoxes to greet the first rays of the sun.

The developer's website has downloadable booklets on all three schemes, outlining in detail how and if potential purchasers qualify for these government initiatives.
