Secluded amidst the forest in a beautiful location with distant views of the Burren hills, this property generates its own electricity via photovoltaic solar panels and a battery management system, with two diesel back-up generators. This rare property boasts numerous sheds, a studio, sauna, workshop, a 4-bay stable block, tack room and riding arena. The garden features and array of raised beds, potting shed, and mature fruit garden including plum, cherry, apple, and pear trees.

The flagstones continue into the sitting room which has a large inglenook fireplace and oil-fired stove, beamed ceiling, library area with wall-to-wall shelving and doorway into a cosy garden room which also has an oil-fired stove.

Living off grid is an increasingly popular choice for those who want to reduce their impact on the environment, live in an eco friendly home and become more self-sufficient. This home is perfect for a person looking for peace and tranquility and while it is so private and secluded it is not completely isolated - the nearest neighbour is only ½ mile away.
