Extending to approximately 5.76 hectares (14.23 acres), together with valuable commonage rights over approximately 23.92 hectares (59.10 acres), the property combines a beautifully maintained three-bedroom detached residence, productive grazing lands, an extensive range of agricultural buildings and significant commonage rights to create an outstanding holding of exceptional quality and versatility.Complete holdings of this nature seldom come to the market. Surrounded by the breath-taking landscapes that have made Connemara one of Ireland's most sought-after destinations, the property offers an exceptional balance of comfortable family living and practical agricultural infrastructure. Whether continuing a farming tradition, establishing a hobby farm or simply embracing the peace, privacy and freedom of country living, this is a property that offers endless possibilities.At the heart of the holding sits a beautifully presented three-bedroom detached residence, thoughtfully designed for modern family living and presented in excellent condition throughout. The bright and spacious accommodation comprises a welcoming sitting room with an attractive open fireplace, a well-appointed fitted kitchen, an impressive open-plan living and dining room centred around a traditional Stanley Range, three generous double bedrooms including a master en-suite, and a family bathroom. Warm, inviting and ready for immediate occupation, the home enjoys delightful views across its surrounding lands and perfectly complements its idyllic rural setting.The adjoining lands extend to approximately 5.76 hectares (14.23 acres) and are complemented by an excellent range of domestic and agricultural outbuildings. The holding is exceptionally well equipped, benefiting from a substantial farmyard, traditional cattle accommodation, storage buildings, a large detached garage and livestock handling facilities, providing excellent infrastructure for a wide variety of farming enterprises while equally appealing to those seeking a substantial lifestyle property.A particularly valuable feature of the holding is the inclusion of extensive commonage rights extending to approximately 23.92 hectares (59.10 acres). The property benefits from a 1/36th undivided share in three separate commonage areas, including approximately 22.52 hectares (55.62 acres) of quality hill grazing adjoining the main holding, together with additional commonage interests extending to approximately 1.34 hectares (3.31 acres) and 0.06 hectares (0.16 acres) respectively.
