Dromaan South, Whitegate, Co. Clare

It is rare that a unique property such as this comes on the market. This pristine lakeshore woodland is likely to have been planted around the 1840s and is currently in its prime with beautiful mature trees. Planted with a mix of Oak, Beech, Ash and Scots Pine with a generous scattering of Holly and Hazel. The wood has been lovingly cared for and not exploited for its timber. The inland boundary is clearly defined by a famine wall and the woodland is planted to the lakeshore. The Folio for sale contains 19 acres and is designated as a Specially Protected Area (SPA) by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. The lakeshore is the property of the ESB. An unspoiled sanctuary for wildlife, the wood is home to many specimen trees and a myriad of plants. There are a number of old stone walls marking ancient boundaries and homes and the property contains a Mass Rock dating back to penal times. The wood is accessed by a lane which is part of the property and is situated well away from any road or house and is an extremely peaceful spot. Lovely at any time, it is particularly beautiful in Spring and early Summer when the trees are coming into leaf and the bluebells are in bloom. There are a number of little clearings by the lake where one can launch a kayak, fish or just sit and enjoy the solitude. Strong interest is expected in this property and viewings are by appointment only with the sole agents. If you have any queries or to arrange a viewing phone Noel Hogan 087 2651377.
