Description
Waterfall Lodge on the banks of the Owenriff River is a remarkable period style property of excellent proportions on a stunning south facing 0.8 acre site. Constructed in 1995 the house is an extremely spacious and well laid out two storey home with impressive views of the river from the living room and the over head bedrooms to the front and side of the house.
The river in full flow can be heard thundering past as it makes its way to Lough Corrib through the village of Oughterard. The river is a hugely popular salmon and trout fishing river and it is the route which the fish take to its spawning ground in summer after travelling across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Waterfall itself is a spectacular sight with mature manicured gardens along the c. 100 meters bank that is a part of the property. The property also enjoys the benefit of the fishing rights for three rods along this bank.
This remarkable house features a fanlight door which leads into a large entrance hall flanked on either side by similar sized living rooms both with bay windows, reclaimed wooden flooring and ornate fireplaces. Other notable features of the rooms which are evident throughout the residence are larger than standard doors, high ceilings (3.00m on ground floor and 2.70m on the first floor), quality coving, old style door handles and much more. The remaining ground floor accommodation consists of a lovely dining room with bay window, kitchen, utility, store, 3 bedrooms/(playroom & study), cloak room and bathroom.
The first floor accommodation consists of 6 spacious bedrooms all of which are en-suite, a bathroom and hotpress. This amazing property has excellent potential to remain as an exclusive riverside home or alternatively it would be ideal for use as a guest house/restaurant in this picturesque setting of the village.
This is by far one of the best houses to be presented for sale in Oughterard area if not the county of Galway in recent years. Only on viewing can one appreciate this very special home and the thought that went into the detail to replicate a house of centuries ago on a beautiful & tranquil riverside site of 0.81 acres at the gateway to Connemara.
