At the side of the rear of the farm there is direct access on to the side laneway with access right down to the local turlough. The house is supplied by mains water, however, "The Old Farmhouse" also has it`s very own private crystal clear spring water well, which is accessed by an enchanting medieval flagstone spiral staircase
The location is absolutely superb - it`s 20 minutes drive to Galway City, or a 30 minute train journey via the newly upgraded train line, and train station at Craughwell Village, to Eyre Square, in the heart of Galway City.

There is an ancient cobble stone winding walk-way adjacent to the house, which leads directly to the largest Turlough in Ireland, the RahasaneTurlough (Winter Lake) located behind the property. This Turlough is one of only two large naturally draining Turloughs left in Ireland, consisting of 690 acres of unspoiled designated Nature Reserve, which is of significant importance, as it supports unique flora and fauna, as well as being a very important sanctuary for bird life in Ireland. The crystal clear Dunkellin river runs through the Turlough During the summer months.
