Many of us aspire to live in the big house in the country with a gated entrance, nice views, convenient to everything, room for a pony and maybe the luxury of a games room, a trout river running through the property and privacy.

Well for some their prayers should be answered with this magnificent home on approximately 5.5 acres of top quality land. The house is a single storey with double basement garage and over head attic space which is ideal for conversion to further living accommodation (subject to planning).

The house is approached through a double gated entrance with a long tree lined avenue which meanders beyond the house to the rear lawn. To the front is a renovated farm cottage, ideal for guests or the perfect games room.

The land is in two sections connected together by its own private road way. The house itself is on a plot with paddocks just short of 2 acres while the remaining fields around 3-5 acres are to the rear of the hill bordering the Drinmeen River which flows into the Lough Corrib nearby. This land is of the highest of quality and it enjoys splended views of the surrounding country side and Aughnaure Castle a few fields away. There are two pony stables on the property, the land is very well kept and its all bordered by stone walls while the front paddocks are fenced.

The property is only a five minute walk to the Oughterard Golf Course with its club house facilities, bar & restaurant while going in the other direction the internationally famed Lough Corrib is no more than a five minute walk. The option exists to purchase a private boat mooring on the river (by separate negotiation) which enters the lake nearby.

The home itself is accessed via steps to the front or pathway from the upper car parking area to the side of the house, which leads into a wide entrance hall with carpeted floor covering and closets for coats etc. The kitchen area is to the front of the house in the gable ended areas which co ntains a fully fitted oak kitchen with integrated Zanussi 5 ring gas hob with glass and steal extractor hood over head. There is also a Belling double oven, single drainer stainless steal sink, the walls are tiled to the end of the counter tops, space for an under counter fridge/freezer, coving and recessed lighting, a door leads to the extremely spacious living room/dining room which also has double glass panel doors leading to the hallway while there are also patio doors on the south side of the room. The focal point of the room is the large open fireplace with mahogany surrounding and marble insert. Around the internal wall is a chair rail to protect the walls from chair scratches etc. The floor is carpeted with a quality carpet while the ceiling has attractive coving and centre mould. There is a generous amount of double radiators and power sockets in the room.

Off the return hallway there are four bedrooms (1 ensuite), all bedrooms are very spacious and are carpeted. The bathroom enjoys a c orner bath, whb, wc and bidet.

A fold away stairs leads to the attic which is left ready for conversion and could easily accommodate three bedrooms and a bathroom.

To summarise, this is an extremely attractive proposition for those wishing to move to a quality residence in the country side with some land and outstanding features and attractions and within easy range of amenities that Oughterard and Moycullen have to offer and more importantly Galway City is only 20 minutes
drive.
