Clare offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique countryside residence in one of Ireland’s most captivating natural settings. Set on approximately 4.32 acres, with the option to purchase a further 8.30 acres, the property seamlessly blends historic charm with luxurious contemporary living. Situated within the East Burren Complex Special Area of Conservation, the home enjoys outstanding privacy, tranquillity, and uninterrupted natural beauty, while remaining within easy reach of the many attractions and amenities of County Clare.
Originally an 18th Century stone, gabled three-bay cottage, the residence has been sympathetically extended and meticulously restored, retaining many original features including the original front wall and an impressive cut stone arched fireplace. Burren limestone cladding, paving, and carefully considered site finishes complement the surrounding landscape beautifully, while the ancient ogham script inscribed on the doorstep adds a further sense of character and heritage. Every detail throughout the home has been finished to an exceptional standard, from the Marvin Architectural solid white oak aluclad windows and doors, to the solid oak internal doors with Pippi oak inset panels, brass ironmongery, and solid pitch pine flooring to the loft area.
Internally, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard with a wonderful balance of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary comfort. Marvin Architectural solid white oak aluclad windows and doors complement the solid oak skirting, architraves, and bespoke internal doors featuring Pippi oak inset panels. Honed Crema Marfil marble tiling flows throughout the space, while the loft area is finished with solid pitch pine flooring. Brass door handles, hinges, and locks further enhance the timeless quality of the interiors.
At the heart of the home lies a beautifully crafted bespoke cherrywood fitted kitchen complete with fully integrated appliances, a Britannia induction hob, dual electric ovens, and warming drawer. The home is fully CAT 5 wired and features an integrated sound system throughout, combining modern convenience with elegant design. A Nestor Martin Harmony 1 kerosene stove provides additional warmth and ambience to the sitting room.
The luxurious bathrooms have been finished with Ideal Standard sanitary ware, Matki walk-in showers, and Hans Grohe taps and mixers. The main family bathroom features a tile television and large freestanding bath, while the master en-suite offers a truly spa-like experience with a full body infrared sauna. Comfort and efficiency are central to the property, with individually zoned underfloor heating powered by a Neura ground source heat pump, together with a ProAir 600 heat recovery ventilation system ensuring excellent energy performance and year-round comfort.
Further high-quality features include a deep bore artesian well, complete water softening system, pressurised water system, and EPS Bison 6 water treatment unit.
