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.

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.
