See inside the former donkey sanctuary converted into luxury Clare home on the market for €625,000
Cleverly named 'The Sanctuary', this former donkey sanctuary in Gortacurka, Dysert features two distinct and unique properties.
The first property is a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom home, accompanied by three outbuildings, and the second is comprised of three studios, which could easily transform into a three-bed, three-bathroom house, along with four outbuildings.
While remote enough to offer privacy, this property is only a 15-minute drive from Ennis, a 10-minute drive from Corofin, a 35-minute drive from Shannon Airport, and less than an hour to Limerick city.
The Wild Atlantic Way is around 35-minutes in the car as well.
Pat Considine Auctioneers have brought this interesting offering to the market, asking potential buyers if they're looking for 'the perfect getaway, a serene lifestyle, a private family residence, or a lucrative business opportunity'?
Describing the property as a 'remarkable piece of real estate', The Sanctuary is set on an impressive, elevated, five-acre site 'surrounded by forestry in the stunning landscape of County Clare'.
'One can take in the tranquil views of Mullaghmore and the Burren Hills, all within the captivating ambiance of Ireland's Burren National Park,' the listing reads.
'Approached through old stone walls, a sweeping driveway winds its way to the main courtyard, where a tranquil stream flows peacefully in front of the house, cascading over two waterfalls before reaching the main entrance to the property.'
If you've mastered the art of gardening, you'll be pleased to hear The Sanctuary is surrounded by 'lush gardens, shrubs, and forestry', with the main house and three self-contained studios exuding a 'sense of tranquility and seclusion in the stunning countryside'.
Charm oozes from this one-of-a-kind offering, 'inviting visitors to explore and appreciate its unique location'.
The Sanctuary has been operating successfully on Airbnb since 2016, offering future owners the potential for additional development, subject to planning permission.
