Description

LOCATION Connemara is a unique and very special part of Ireland. Situated on the most western seaboard of Europe, this unspoiled region features breathtaking scenery, rugged unpolluted coastline, dramatic mountains, numerous lakes and rivers, woodlands and a National Park. From its rugged coastline to jagged mountain peaks, Connemara is a place of great natural beauty. Along coastline peat bogs, cliffs and small stone-walled fields characterise the landscape. Connemara attracts and inspires artists, painters, photographers and poets, and usually leaves visitors speechless. The property is located on the Wild Atlantic Way magnificently situated in a peaceful rural area with panoramic views. Built in 2000 in a stunning and unique location at the foot of the Sheffry Hills of Ben Gorm (the Blue Mountain) on an elevated site of 1.04 hectares (over 2.57 acres) overlooking Killary Harbour and is less than half a kilometre to Aasleagh Falls where the river Erriff flows into Killary Harbour, Ireland’s only fjord.
