Home to a myriad of birds to include geese, guinea fowl, white doves, martins, cockatiels, to mention but a few, this truly is a natures lover`s paradise.
"An Srath" is located in a cul de sac, a mere 2.5kms from Clifden, a thriving bustling town which attracts visitors from worldwide & offering a plethora of activities to include fishing, kayaking, sailing, swimming, hiking, walking trails, golfing to mention but a few.

"An Srath" is surround to the rear by the majestic National Heritage Park - home to deer, native mountain sheep, Connemara ponies who can often be seen looking benignly down on the locals whilst grazing.
Owneglen River, which is renowned for salmon fishing, runs adjacent to the residence. There are also natural pools which are enjoyed by locals & visitors alike (that is, those who are lucky enough to know about their existence!)
One could wax lyrical about the grounds & surrounds, but first let`s take a look at the residence itself. Extending to 1,500 sq.ft.(to include converted attic for storage) constructed in the Mid 1980`s - several works & upgrades have taken place over the years. These works include a modern and efficient oil heating system paired with a high-capacity Joule hot water cistern, ensuring constant, reliable warmth and hot water.
Ambiating a Scandinavian & Mediterranean vibe, the following sun filled accommodation is offered: entrance hall, to the right of which is the family lounge with large picture size windows affording fabulous views of the gardens. This room is with solid fuel stove & wooden flooring.
There are four double bedrooms - all generously sized & proportioned. The main bathroom comes with separate shower & bath. The kitchen sits to the rear of the residence & comes with built in sage green kitchen units with wooden counter top - views onto the rear gardens are captivating from this aspect. The utility, with door to the rear is adjacent to the kitchen.
The light flooding the residence cannot be overstated - this is due not only to the perfect East to West aspect of the property but the large picture windows used extensively throughout.
At 1st floor level there is a large converted storage area - this would suit a multiple of uses, to include home office, lounge, bedroom, gym, den etc (all SPP)
As much as the house is special - the grounds are truly magical. Stepping outside, there is a Finish, blockhouse-style, six-person sauna. Crafted for both relaxation and wellbeing, this addition provides a perfect end to a day spent fishing on the river, hiking in the nearby countryside, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of rural life.
The sauna is ideal for socialising, unwinding, or embracing a healthy lifestyle in the comfort of your own property.
There is also a purpose built 3,800 sq. unit over two floors & a large car port - making this suitable for use as a business. (Subject to the requisite planning permission)
As previously stated, there is a surprise & delight at every turn, to include the birds scattered at different parts of the gardens. The guinea fowl provide for free range eggs & leave them for the owners! . The geese hustle & bustle around, really "strutting their stuff" - the doves are not only beautiful to watch them flying freely from perch to perch, their soft "cooing" is lovely to hear. The cockatoos, with their coats of many colours are a visual treat, the martins are busy bringing food to their young & are seen constantly entering & leaving their nest - oblivious to all that`s going on around them.
This agent was both captivated & enchanted by this residence & all it has to offer - we are confident any viewer will be equally enthralled.
