Description
Exclusive Lakeshore Residence at Ballycurrin Demesne, Lough Corrib, near Cross, County Mayo: € 750,000 Set on its own natural peninsula on the shores of Lough Corrib, Ballycurrin Demesne is an exceptional detached lakeside residence offering rare privacy, warmth and natural beauty in one of the west of Ireland’s most atmospheric settings. Surrounded by c. 4 acres of mature grounds, including woodland, lawns, paths, terraces and direct water access, the property enjoys wonderful lake views, magical sunsets and an extraordinary sense of peace and seclusion. From the front slate terrace and principal suite, there are beautiful views across the water. From the waterline, there are views of Ballycurrin Lighthouse and mountains in the distance. The setting itself feels entirely private and quietly removed from the pace of everyday life. Despite its deeply tranquil setting, the house remains highly practical for modern living, with Galway approximately 30 minutes away and Cross, with its nearby pub and restaurant, just a short drive. The property combines a true sense of escape with everyday convenience, with Headford just 8 miles away offering supermarkets, hospitality, shops and essential local amenities. As such, it lends itself equally well as a full-time residence, an elegant weekend retreat, a remote-working base, or a distinctive waterside escape for those drawn to fishing, kayaking and outdoor life. Extending to approximately 260 sq m, the house offers a rare blend of romantic lakeside character and thoughtful modernisation for everyday living. Originally more rustic in style, the property was extensively remodelled in 2023 and now presents with a refined, elegant finish throughout. Interiors feature Farrow & Ball paint, Sanderson wallpaper, Sonas sanitary ware, bespoke radiators, new flooring, and a carefully considered palette of upgrades designed to enhance both comfort and style. As part of the wider programme of works, new wiring and pipework were laid, a new concrete subfloor was poured, and the electrics, heating, hot water tank, kitchen, bathrooms and roof lights were all renewed/installed. Heating and hot water is controlled remotely. The open-plan sitting and dining room is a wonderfully inviting space for everyday living and entertaining, while the kitchen is the heart of the home, generous in scale and designed for gathering, with a wood-burning stove and ample room for dining, entertaining, or leisure. French doors open onto a covered slate terrace off the living area, with water and electrics already in place for a hot tub, creating an idyllic setting for long evenings overlooking the lake. The upper level offers flexible accommodation for guests, creative use, or home working, and the overall layout combines character and practicality. The bathrooms have all been upgraded with new sanitary ware, heated towel rails and thoughtful contemporary detailing. Throughout, the house feels calm, comforting and beautifully resolved. Further improvements include a Stovax wood burner installed in 2019, a water treatment system and a reverse osmosis drinking water system installed in 2019 and inspected annually, a remote-accessed, integrated CCTV installed in 2022, and an updated Puraflo peat fibre biofilter wastewater system completed in 2021. Starlink satellite Wi-Fi makes remote working effortless, while a large garage and generous parking add practical day-to-day convenience. Ballycurrin Demesne is a home of genuine rarity: peaceful, private and deeply atmospheric, yet fully equipped for modern life. It is a place to begin the day by the water, entertain on the terrace, watch wildlife move through the grounds, and end the evening with the sun setting over Lough Corrib.
