Lough Sillan Residence, Shercock, Lough Sillan, Co. Cavan, €850,000

Boasting panoramic views of Lough Sillan, this home provides a tranquil escape from the busyness of modern life. Built in 2024, the building sits on a generous 1.6-acre site complete with direct access to the nearby lake.

A tree-lined driveway guides the way to the front of the residence, with beautifully landscaped grounds on all sides. A tiled entrance hall greets you upon entering inside, leading into the reception rooms and a corridor connecting this space to both the downstairs and upstairs bedrooms.

The sitting room is a real highlight of the design. Boasting high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows, and a wood-burning stove with an elegant marble surround, it’s the perfect space in which to relax after a long day.

A sliding glass door opens to the rear, with magnificent lakeside views. Further inside, you’ll find the kitchen and dining room with custom-built cabinetry, a spacious hardwood island and countertops, and a cosy built-in seating area by the windows. Adjacent to the kitchen, a large utility room offers additional storage space and provides access to the rear of the property.

Inside, the accommodation comprises five spacious bedrooms with two of the five – along with the family bathroom – located just off the entrance and down the corridor. Both bedrooms feature double-glazed dual-aspect windows with views of the lake, while the third bedroom benefits from a private ensuite bathroom.

Two further bedrooms are located upstairs along with a seating area and a shared bathroom. The study can be found before the master bedroom which has its own ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and access to the front patio. A staircase leads up to the mezzanine where there is a secret library.

Outside, Lough Sillan Residence features an orchard with Cox’s Pippin apple trees, a Victorian plum tree, and a Damson tree. The gently sloping landscape enhances privacy from the roadside and takes full advantage of the breathtaking lakeside views. The main driveway divides into two, leading to the residence and the boathouse – the latter of which is fully equipped with plumbing, concrete flooring, insulation, block walls, and triple-glazed windows. This space is currently being used as a home gym and boasts a full range of equipment.

Located just 60 minutes from Dublin Airport via the M1 motorway, Lough Sillan Residence is surrounded by countryside while still only being a short distance from the city.

Currently on the market for €850,000, the property is on sale through Lisney Sotheby’s International Realty (Country Homes).
