Ref: S0137
For Sale Freehold - Offers on €300,000 A superb 3.6 acre riverside site with good rural views and boat access to Lough Corrib with full planning permission for a substantial and classical new country home of 3,500 sq. ft.
The proposed house will be set well back from the road, in an elevated position with 360 degree views over farmland.

There is an existing high stone wall to the road frontage, with existing local stone field walls on the eastern and southern boundaries. The northern boundary is the Black River. The total area is currently divided into three enclosures, and affords the purchaser to retain some of the land as paddocks or grazing land with more formal gardens around the residence. Additionally as previously mentioned there is long river frontage to the Black River which could be converted into a superb and most attractive feature garden, being on a lower level than the proposed main house. There is also ample opportunity to create a small dock for the safe keeping of boats.
