About this property

Historic Georgian Country House with Private Garden & Riverside Charm

Discover the charm of this historic, independent, and private Georgian House (1730), nestled in its own lush garden oasis. With an exclusive entrance located just across from the serene Owenriff River, this property offers an unparalleled blend of tranquillity and convenience.

Set in the heart of Connemara, this home is close to the breathtaking Lake Corrib and the stunning Atlantic coastline, with endless opportunities for outdoor adventures in some of Ireland’s most iconic landscapes.

The house seamlessly combines modern comforts with the inviting lifestyle of a vibrant village (Oughterard). Enjoy the warmth of local pubs, browse the farmers' markets, find quality goods at the butcher's and grocery stores, and admire the exceptional craftsmanship of local artisans—all just steps away, across the stone bridge or following the short path along the Owenriff River.

It’s more than a house; it’s your personal retreat in the enchanting beauty of Connemara, where nature, culture, and timeless elegance converge.
