Description
Louis Boyce estate agents are delighted to offer for sale this fine 3 bedroom cottage on c.0.2 acre site on the Lough Salt road just a few minutes from Glen village and the Olde Glen Bar and Restaurant. Stunning views over Glen Lough and Muckish Mt. Close to Donegal Boardwalk & Rosapenna Golf. Here`s your \~250 word article: A holiday home in the **Glen Carrigart Downings** area of County Donegal offers exceptional lifestyle, leisure, and investment benefits. Positioned on the stunning **Rosguill Peninsula**, this region is framed by **Sheephaven** and **Mulroy Bays**, with a scenic **Atlantic Drive** that reveals golden-sand beaches, rugged coastline, and landmarks like Muckish Mountain and Ards Forest Park. **Lifestyle appeal** is strong: quaint Gaeltacht villages Downings and Carrigart offer a mix of local life and tourist appeal, with shops, pubs, craft studios (like McNutt`s tweed), and award winning restaurants like The Olde Glen Bar Restaurant/Fisk/The singing Pub Downings). Water sport lovers have access to a Blue Flag beach perfect for surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing. Nearby Rosapenna Golf Resort features three championship links courses, including the famed Old Tom Morris/ course . **Practical benefits** include ease of access via Letterkenny (30 min) and Derry (1 hr), with daily bus links to both towns. Two primary schools (one a Gaelscoil), plus local sports clubs, make the area family friendly and connected ([findahome.ie][2], [en.wikipedia.org][5]). Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Glenveagh National Park, Ards Forest Park, picturesque Horn Head, and Doe Castle within easy driving distance . **Investment** potential is notable. Although Downings has a high proportion of holiday home ownership estimated at up to 75 percent of properties being rentals or secondary homes, this reflects the area`s popularity with staycationers and holiday renters. And for renovators, derelict cottage sites are eligible for substantial grants up to 70,000 derelict home grant plus 30,000 SEAI grants making redevelopment attractive. In short, a holiday home in Glen Carrigart Downings delivers coastal charm, outdoor adventure, convenient amenities, and strong second home rental or lifestyle potential in one of Donegal`s most captivating corners.
