Lough Garr House, Dromore, Ruan, Co Clare, has just arrived on the market. Standing on circa 40 acres, the property comes to the market with a fabulous stone-faced two-storey residence, a large triple garage, a farmyard, five acres of lake and circa 29 acres of pasture.

It’s a special sort of package that is ideal for someone looking to buy a fine country home that offers complete seclusion but yet is just over six miles from Ennis and less than four miles from the M18 Limerick/Gort motorway.

Priced at €875,000, Lough Garr certainly represents the upper end of the market and, to date, has generated a nice level of local and international interest. But it’s early days yet and selling agent Roseanne De Vere Hunt, Sherry FitzGerald, Dublin, expects inquiries to intensify in the coming weeks as the holiday season draws to a close.

Just 20 miles from Shannon airport, Lough Garr does provide a realistic option for an American to use it as a comfortable base in the west of Ireland where utter quietness is guaranteed. But it’s also suggested that it would make a wonderful family home, particularly for a family with an interest in horses as it comes with a range of farmyard accommodation with potential for conversion to stables.

Nestled among its own parkland and fabulous mature trees, Lough Garr is approached by a beautiful tree-lined avenue that ensures complete privacy and tranquillity.

The house was built back in 2001 and despite extending to 3,379 square feet, its sheer presence from the outside would make you believe that it’s actually much bigger on the inside. Stone faced, the house features big spacious rooms, plenty of light and good high ceilings, giving comfortable family accommodation while also having lots of room for entertaining.

The accommodation downstairs includes two reception rooms, open-plan kitchen, breakfast room, sun room, study and an ensuite bedroom with a further four ensuite bedrooms upstairs.

A Stira staircase gives access to the floored attic, giving ample storage space or allowing for further conversion.

Adjacent to the house is a large Bradstone triple garage suitable for machinery storage or alternatively conversion to stables as it comes with its own effluent tank.

With its own separate access, the main farmyard is away from the house and features a six-bay back-to-back slatted shed with central feed passage, crush and handling pen, and a range of other buildings.

Used to graze beef cattle over the years, the land is set out in one 40-acre block that surrounds the house. Around 29 acres is in pasture, laid out in well-fenced paddocks, with a further circa five acres under lake while the remaining circa six acres is made up of lawns, woodland, and buildings.

Indeed, the patio at the back of the house looks out towards the lake and across to Dromore Woods, while the views at the front extend out across its own land.

Joint selling agents Roseanne De Vere Hunt, Sherry FitzGerald, Dublin, and Paddy Dermody from Sherry FitzGerald McMahon, Ennis, are handling the sale by private treaty.
