Description
Just 12 kilometres from the vibrant town of Westport, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a modern home in one of the most scenic and peaceful locations in the west of Ireland. Built in 2016, the residence has been finished to the highest standard throughout and is presented in immaculate, turn-key condition. Every detail has been carefully considered, with craftsmanship and design choices that combine elegance, comfort, and practicality.
Flooded with natural light from the many windows throughout, the interiors are bright, warm, and welcoming, enhancing the sense of space in every room. The ground floor is finished with beautiful high-quality laminate oak flooring, adding both style and durability to the home’s contemporary finish. Two solid fuel stoves provide cosy focal points within the living areas, a double-sided stove connects the sunroom and open-plan kitchen/dining area, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere between the two spaces. The sunroom itself features a high ceiling and patio doors opening onto a private deck area with planting and access to the wider rear garden, perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding views and peaceful setting. A second solid fuel stove creates an equally inviting focal point within the main living room.
Stepping inside, the interiors are bright, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out across approximately c.184 square metres (c.1,983 square feet). Originally designed as a four-bedroom home, the current owners opted to combine two rooms to create an impressive master suite, however, this could easily be reverted to provide a fourth bedroom should the new owner wish. The accommodation offers a superb balance of living and sleeping space, ideal for modern family life or entertaining guests.
Triple-glazed windows and external doors, together with zoned underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators at first-floor level, provide year-round comfort and efficiency. Since the BER inspection, an additional 200mm of glass fibre insulation has been added throughout the loft and crawl spaces, further enhancing the home’s energy credentials. The property also benefits from 1GB fibre broadband, making it ideally suited for remote working.
Finished in a contemporary style with a soft neutral palette throughout, the property provides an elegant and versatile backdrop for new owners to make their own. A generously sized ground floor bedroom adds further flexibility to the accommodation and benefits from access to a stylish Jack and Jill shower room, entered through a feature barn door from the bedroom side while also accessible from the utility room. A striking custom-made open staircase with oak steps leads to the first floor, adding an impressive architectural feature to the home’s modern interior. Every surface, fixture, and fitting has been carefully selected and impeccably maintained, resulting in a home of exceptional quality that is ready for immediate occupation without the need for any further work.
The setting is every bit as impressive as the home itself. To the front, the property enjoys magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, creating a dramatic backdrop that changes beautifully with the light and seasons, offering a rare sense of serenity and connection with the landscape. This combination of mountain and rural scenery ensures the home is as much about lifestyle and setting as it is about comfort and design.
A tarmacadam driveway with natural stone walls and gated access leads to the property, framed by seeded lawns to the front, side, and rear. Adjacent, there is a detached garage complete with a roller door and pedestrian side access, with electricity connected, providing excellent storage or workshop potential. Positioned behind the garage is a polytunnel along with a timber fuel store, further enhancing the practicality and appeal of this superbly appointed home.
Whether sought as a permanent family home or a luxurious holiday retreat, this residence combines the very best of modern building standards with the charm of its idyllic rural setting. With Croagh Patrick on
your doorstep and the Sheefry Hills on the horizon, it represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a home of distinction in one of Ireland’s most breathtaking landscapes. Accommodation
