See inside the €1.475m Clare home with private access to Lough Derg
The architecturally designed luxury lakeshore residence has been listed for €1,475,000 by Harry Brann Auctioneers and Valuers.
'Set in tranquil surroundings on a private circa 1.2-acre site boasting magnificent mature gardens overlooking stunning Lough Derg and located only 6kms from all amenities in the popular lakeside town of Killaloe,' the property's listing reads.
'Presented to the market in pristine turn-key condition, the property offers the would-be purchaser the rare opportunity to experience the joys of lakeshore living at its best with the added bonus of an impressive private harbour - a rare commodity nowadays.
'Early viewing strongly recommended, especially for the lakeshore enthusiast.'
The property is ideally located at the hub of the mid-west, with Limerick city centre and Shannon Airport just a short drive away. The house is within close proximity to the new Killaloe by-pass, all sports facilities, and numerous primary and secondary schools - including the renowned Irish Steiner/Waldorf School.
On the ground floor, the Killaloe home boasts an impressive reception hall complete with white oak timber flooring and a red deal timber staircase to the first floor.
From here, you can gain access to the home's kitchen and dining area, lounge room, study, family room, utility room, guest bathroom, three bedrooms – including the primary suite, alongside multiple ensuites, and the dressing room.
While a majority of the living space is on the ground floor, there is, surprisingly, not a cramped feel to the spaces, with stunning views of the rolling Tipperary hills and the incomparable Lough Derg from most of the rooms.
The lounge and family room both benefit from hearths which provide great heat for the property in the wintertime. Twin French doors open from both the lounge area and the family to the composite deck and lake garden, as well.
The kitchen and dining area includes fully fitted maple units, including an integrated double oven, electric hob, extractor fan and fridge-freezer. The island unit leaves space for a breakfast bar, an integrated dishwasher, sink, and extra storage.

The utility room provides further storage space with fully fitted maple wall and floor units. There is a stainless-steel sink in the room, with over-counter tiling and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.
The primary bedroom is the main point of attraction on the ground floor, with a lobby area providing access to the bedroom, en-suite bathroom and dressing room.
If desired, the dressing room could likely be used as an additional bedroom – as well as the games room upstairs.
The first-floor landing provides further storage with a storage closet and hot press featured, as well as an overhead Velux window allowing natural light through.
Bedroom three upstairs also features an ensuite bathroom with a walk in fully shelved and railed wardrobe to boot – almost acting as an additional primary bedroom.
Bedroom four is situated next to the large family bathroom which features a jacuzzi bath and another Velux window.
The property also benefits from a considerable garden, with neatly manicured lawns and mature trees, hedges, shrubbery beds, and meandering gravelled footpaths to the lakeshore complimenting this already exquisite property.
A barbeque area in the gardens includes an impressive waterfall feature from the natural flowing stream, while the large composite deck and patio areas to the rear overlook Lough Derg.
The composite deck harbour area allows for private boat access to Lough Derg with power and lighting included. Two smaller slipways also allow for alternative lake access.
Finally, the house also benefits from electric gates and a detached Garage with an electric roll up access door.
While the inside of the property may appear a small bit dated, with the right care, this exquisite property could be brought up to modern standards and offer a fantastic home to lakeshore enthusiasts.
