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?
