There are different ways to say this but none that carries exactly the same meaning as the English word for "home":

Mo theach "my home" as in "my house"
Mo dhúiche "my home" as in "my homeland"
Mo theaghlach "my household/family"
Mo bhaile "my home" as in "my village"

Part of the difference is that traditional Irish families aren't nuclear, so your family naturally extends outside your own house.

Await further input ...
