A modern build in Donegal, Lough View is an exceptional family home with ample space – both inside and out.

Built in 2019, the property offers a spacious living area of approximately 223 sq m (2,400 sq ft), with large picture windows making the most of the beautiful views. Inside, the decor is contemporary and tasteful with natural light flowing throughout. Set on approximately 0.76 acres of land, the property is accessed via a private laneway off the county road, ensuring both privacy and tranquillity.

A welcoming entrance hall greets you upon entry with a double-height vaulted ceiling and laminate timber flooring. Coat hooks have been hung in the area under the stairs, while seated storage boxes help hide clutter while making clever use of otherwise wasted space.

The same laminate flooring continues into the sitting room where a large picture window is the highlight. A free-standing multi-fuel stove warms the space on colder days, creating a cosy atmosphere and making this room the perfect place to rest after a long day.

An arched doorway leads into the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The kitchen space has been fully fitted with wall and base units, as well as a built-in Beko oven and grill, four burner ceramic hob, extractor fan, and an integrated Beko dishwasher. A marble-topped island in the centre of the room offers additional seating and counter/storage space.

A tiled utility room is adjacent. This room features a stainless steel sink unit and drainer and has been plumbed for both a washer and dryer.

A second sitting room, two bedrooms—one ensuite—and a bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Two further bedrooms—both ensuite and with walk-in wardrobes—can be found upstairs, along with a seating area on the landing.

Located in the highly sought-after Saltpans area on the outskirts of Rathmullan Village, the property is minutes away from Otway Golf Club. Overlooking Lough Swilly stretching out toward the historic Fort Dunree, the views are second to none.

Positioned in a peaceful, secluded corner, this property offers a true escape from the everyday. Within easy access to all necessary amenities, Lough View is surprisingly well set up despite its rural surroundings. Local highlights include sandy beaches perfect for boating, swimming or deep-sea fishing, beautiful hiking and hill walking trails and of course, a championship golf course ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The property also boasts an A2 BER rating, a very high standard to attain.

Currently on the market for €525,000, the property is on sale through Rainey Estate Agents. Early viewing is advised though additional photos, a floorplan and a walk-through video are available on their social media channels and websites.
