Luxurious house, situated two hours from Kerry, one hour from Galway, 40 mins from The Burren, 45 minutes from Shannon Airport and 500m from the beautiful, award winning village of Mountshannon, this property is truly a special find - ideal for touring the southwest of Ireland as well as being just 2.5 hours from Dublin.

The house is an architect designed high quality detached home - set on 1.5 acres , with views over Lough Derg and the Tipperary Hills. It is a warm home - timber-framed with zoned central heating and wood-burning stoves. The ceilings are higher than standard, giving a bright airy feel to the home.
