Nicely located off the back road between Scariff and Mountshannon on an elevated site with beautiful views of Lough Derg in the distance, this three bedroom timber frame and timber clad house was built in 2003. Standing on a large site measuring 4.22 acres in total, some of the land has been left as lawns, some as wildflower meadows but most of it has been planted with native trees with walkways maintained through this young natural woodland. There is an area close to the house that is used as a vegetable garden and there is also a polytunnel. A little distance from the house is an orchard with a variety of fruit trees.
Extending to 122 square metres (1313 square feet) the house is connected to mains electricity, to a deep bored well on-site and to a septic tank on-site. Solid fuel central heating is installed but if an alternative heating system was required it would be relatively easy to retro-fit due to the type of construction. There is a void underneath the house where pipework can be easily accessed. Building Energy Rating is C. Windows are made of teak and are double glazed and fibre broadband is installed as is an Electric vehicle charging point. There is a large garage or workshop beside the house and two firewood stores. There is no shortage of firewood as the woodland needs annual maintenance and pruning.
The ground floor accommodates an entrance hall, a large L shaped, south facing open-plan kitchen living area with birch kitchen units and wood stove, a large utility room, a ground floor bedroom currently being used as a study, a large bathroom with separate bath and shower and a small under-stairs storage area. On the first floor are two further bedrooms and a hot-press. The master bedroom is on the first floor and has a walk in closet and fantastic lake views.

The house is in good condition throughout. However, this property is as much about the outdoors as it is about the very comfortable living accommodation, set as it is in a quiet location away from the road with lovely views and lots of space with plenty of trees. While the property offers great privacy, there are neighbours and the house isn’t completely isolated as it is just a mile from Mountshannon village and three miles from Scariff.
Nothing run-of-the mill about this one and interest is likely to be keen. Viewing is strictly by appointment only with the sole agents. Phone Noel Hogan today on 087 2651377 to organise your viewing.
