This is the type of property that is rarely seen on the market. A superb and carefully maintained and modernised stone 2 bed. cottage together with a small enclave of stone cut out-offices offering a myraid of opportunities for expansion, studio's, apartment etc. The property comes together with 10 acres of good arable land with 4 stable blocks and a 40m x 20m sand arena and jumps. There are excellent lake views from cottage and land. Very desirable property indeed
An exciting opportunity to purchase an uniquely placed property, surrounded by breath-takingly beautiful scenery and within minutes of some of the best fishing in Europe. “Rosshill Fishing Lodge” is located in Joyce's Country in Connemara and is adjacent to Lough Mask. It is accessed via a small road off the Clonbur to Finney road, which extends a few hundred yards further to Rosshill Bay, where there is a landing stage for direct access to the Mask fishing grounds, which is one of the last wild brown trout fisheries in Europe. The lodge has been operated very successfully as a fishing lodge for many years and was registered with Bord Failte as approved tourist accommodation until the owner retired. It is only a 10 minute walk to the village of Clonbur, which has 2 excellent restaurants, 3 pubs, large supermarket, fishing shop, craft and coffee shop, Catholic Church, primary school and community centre. Galway City is 40 minutes drive and Dublin 2˝ hrs by motorway. Knock Airport is a 50 minute drive.The Lodge was formerly the Coach House, Stables and Granary of the Rosshill House, built by Lord Leitrim. Later it was acquired by Lord Ardilaun (the former Sir Benjamin Guinness) whose family home for a number of generations was Ashford Castle, some three miles away at Cong.The aspect is westwards with a spectacular view of the Connemara Mountains. At ground floor level there is a garage and boathouse. A large wide courtyard extends along the east side and a raised terrace faces the dwelling on the west and extends along the south side. The site is bounded on the north by the conifer plantation of Coillte, which extends out on to the Big Island and the White Island Peninsula enclosing Rosshill Bay and for a considerable distance along the lakeshore. There are currently three separate self-contained apartments and capacity to renovate existing area into a fourth apartment. The property, however, offers huge potential for visionary redevelopment.
