Moylena is a unique, charming, modernist style home set on a 2.08 acre of established gardens adjacent to and with mooring onto Lough Corrib. The residence, which was built circa 1970, was designed by Dan O’Neill Flanagan architect who had been commissioned by an east coast based business family. He created an impressive modernist home constructed of glass, steel and reinforced concrete that is as striking today as the day it was built.
The residence is entered on the ground floor with entrance hall, guest wc, utility room and stairwell to first floor. The main accommodation is on the first floor and in the modernist style the main building frame protects the inset glass wall structure that overlooks the grounds and gardens. All rooms have doors opening onto a balcony that wraps around the living accommodation. There is an open plan living and dining area, kitchen, three large double bedrooms, main en suite and main bathroom. Features include Connemara marble surround fireplace, solid oak timber floors, and double glazed windows.
A special feature of Moylena is its grounds of just over two acres of mature and established gardens. It is accessed off a small local road less than 100 metres from the lakeshore, via a tree lined entrance avenue which opens to the front of the residence and main gardens. The house is positioned below a raised bank which affords the gardens shelter and protection. The result is an oasis of tranquility, calm and privacy among the mature trees, shrubs and lawns that make up the gardens.
Located at Derrymoyle on the Glann Road which runs along the shore of Lough Corrib and is approximately three kilometres from Oughterard village. Lough Corrib is Ireland's largest lake and is recognised as one of Europe’s finest wild game fisheries (salmon and brown trout ) of some 43,000 acres with 365 islands. The Glann shore is a particularly sought-after part of Lough Corrib as it is a sheltered area with its own microclimate and abundant flora and fauna. Oughterard, which is the main service centre locally, is a welcoming village on the lake shores. It’s the gateway to Connemara and has strong tourist attractions with fishing, hiking, walking, golfing and cycling as its main pursuits. The area is also renowned for its scenic beauty. Galway city is approximately 30 kilometres away.
