Overlooking Cashel Bay, this waterfront property in Connemara marries contemporary design with country living.

A beautiful waterfront home with incredible views, Cannute House can be found in Connemara along the Wild Atlantic Way – an area renowned across the globe for its natural beauty and scenery.

Sitting on circa 0.24 HA (0.59 acres), the property features a large open-plan dining room/kitchen, five spacious double bedrooms and expansive gardens outside. 

Inside, the accommodation extends to approximately 347 sq. m. An inviting entrance hall welcomes you inside where a staircase leads upstairs. To the left, you’ll find the main living room where several large windows offer views of the bay outside. A wood-burning fireplace, nestled within a stone hearth, radiates warmth and cosiness.

On the opposite side of the hall is the dining room. A patio door opens onto a raised patio to the rear of the home. Adjacent to the dining area, there is a study/library. 

The kitchen is accessed via an archway from the dining room. Standout features include cream units adorned with marble countertops, an Aga, modern appliances and a generously sized island unit. The kitchen extends into a light-filled conservatory which takes advantage of the property’s impeccable location.

A WC, a sauna and shower room, a utility room, that can also be conveniently accessed via a back door entrance and a dedicated games room complete the ground floor accommodation.

The master bedroom is located on the first floor, complete with ensuite bathroom. Four further well-proportioned double bedrooms can also be found on this level along with two bathrooms – one with a freestanding roll-top bathroom, the other with a shower.

Outside, the residence boasts ample parking space to the front while a lovely garden is situated to the back. 

The surrounding countryside is amongst some of the country’s most picturesque with vast expanses of bogland, rugged mountains and pristine lakes/coastal scenery too. Overlooking Cashel Bay, the property enjoys a prime location directly adjacent to Canower Pier, making it ideal for fishing, kayaking and swimming. There is also a slipway and mooring for a boat.

Both Clifden and Roundstone are easily accessible, offering myriad facilities such as cafes, bars, restaurants and shops. The famous beaches of Gurteen and Dog’s Bay are a couple of kilometres away along with Ballynahinch Castle Hotel, one of Ireland’s leading luxury hotels, set in a private 700-acre estate of woodland, rivers and walks.

Notable attractions in the area include Kylemore Abbey a handsome castle with renowned historic gardens, situated on the shores of Kylemore Lake and the Connemara National Park, encompassing some 2,000 hectares of scenic wilderness.
