DNG Maxwell Heaslip & Leonard presents to the market this most impressive property set on a majestic site of c1.8 acres of gardens that offer breathtaking views of Ballyconneely and its stunning surrounds. Located at Derrigimlagh, this outstanding residence is situated directly across from the renowned Coral Beach, with its white sands and turquoise waters. It is a unique part of the world which offers wonderful vistas regardless of the season, something only achieved in Connemara.
On arrival at the gates of the property you will travel up a sweeping pea-gravel driveway where it becomes immediately obvious how special this setting really is. The driveway then forks at the gardens and offers both front and rear access to the house. It is here that you are drawn to the structure and its clean lines, cut stone finish, and landscaped gardens which blend into the surrounds.
Built in 2009, this architecturally and sympathetically designed luxury family residence extends to approximately 2,400sq ft (230sq m ) standing on a large site of circa 1.6 acres (0.70 ha ).
Stepping over the threshold into the wonderful reception hallway - which divides the living space from the accommodation area - with double glass walls, you instantly see the architect's intention to take full advantage of the light and the surrounds. From here you follow the granite floors into the spacious open plan kitchen/dining area with its vaulted ceilings and stunning fully integrated kitchen. Ideal for entertaining, the walnut kitchen was specially designed to give a minimalistic feel and the stunning Corian breakfast island is a focal point. The dining area off the kitchen has wonderful views, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors leading out to the outdoor paved patio, for al fresco dining on summer days. Off the kitchen and separated by a feature raised centre fireplace, the living room/lounge area with walnut floors and corner windows provides more light and more views. Towards the other end of the kitchen area, there is a secluded TV room, which will keep the children occupied in the evenings. The large utility room is fully fitted and has a door to the rear yard, which is used for everyday coming and goings.
Across the reception hallway there are three bedrooms, each providing a real oasis of calm and privacy with gorgeous backdrops in each room. The master bedroom benefits from a walk-in-dressing room and a curved en suite wet room with mosaic tiling. The second and third bedrooms have wide panel oak floors with built-in wardrobes and views of the Twelve Pins. The main bathroom is fully tiled with a large corner bath and also acts as an en suite for the second bedroom.
Set at the end of a long driveway, the site allows for great privacy and views, and benefits from the sun from sunrise to sunset.
The property is bounded by mature gardens and manicured lawns and has a rear garage with an amazing roof top terrace offering the most spectacular dining spot along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Selling agent James Heaslip commented: “Having recently overseen the sales of a number of high profile properties in this area, I can say with confidence that this is simply the most impressive property to come to the Ballyconneely/Roundstone location in years. The site is truly unique and the finish of the house is among the best I have seen. To have the opportunity to wake up every morning and walk down your drive to swim at the Coral Beach is not something that comes along that often. We are hugely excited to have been appointed as the sales agents for this special sale. We have already had a large amount of enquiries, including a number of overseas buyers. With demand for holiday homes in this area at an all-time high, we have high hopes for this wonderful residence.”
