Own a Piece of Irish History
This house is why you’re reading this. It’s where it all began—the people I met, the ideas I developed. Now, you or your business have the chance to own this extraordinary piece of Irish history—and potentially break a world record while doing so.This is one of only two houses of its kind in existence. Both have a floor area of One Square Metre. The prototype, which I use daily, is a testament to the design’s innovation and functionality. The house being auctioned is your exclusive opportunity to own this unique handcrafted property. With such rarity, this sale offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to claim a piece of history.
The highest price per square metre for a house in North Dublin is estimated to be around €15,000, according to a well-respected local estate agent. The world record? Approximately $350,000 per square metre for a house in Japan.
We’re starting the bidding at just over double that—and with that, you could own the most expensive house in the world.
Further Details on the house are here
A House With a Story, a Purpose, and a Promise
When the house was completed in 2022, I made a promise:- 25% will go to my nephew, who was instrumental in building it.
- 25% will go to a young local artist who supported the project in countless ways.
- 10% will go to my local church.
- 10% will support CRC, a local charity.
- 5% will help The Samaritans refurbish their Counselling Suites
- The remaining 25% will help run shmuu.com—a platform for meaningful discussion and ideas.
A Masterpiece and a Smart Investment
This house is a work of art, and owning it comes with benefits beyond the walls:- If your business buys it, you may be able to write off 100% against tax. After all, the big players do it—why not you?
