This beachside Connemara home is on the market for €2.8 million

There are homes that have good views, and then there’s Cois Na Mara, which is on a level all its own. Situated around 10 minutes from Clifden, this bungalow overlooks a quiet, sandy beach, an incredibly scenic location.

The views from the house look across to Crow Island, Inish Turk Island and Turbert Island, and along the coastline to the tidal Omey Island.

Set on over 11 acres and with eight bedrooms, each with ensuite shower or bathrooms, the home would work well either as holiday accommodation, or as a family dwelling.

You enter this home into a tiled hallway. Off this space is a large family room, with a vaulted ceiling, and open fireplace and sea views. Interconnected with this space is a study, leading through to the dining room.

The dining room also makes the most of its views, with windows on three sides, and is large enough to seat a crowd. The kitchen is adjacent to this room, and there is also a pantry that is plumbed for a washing machine.

The eight bedrooms all offer storage as well as their own bath or shower room. There is also a detached garage, and an incomplete boathouse near the sea, plus a right of access to a natural boat ramp, which would be ideal for water sport enthusiasts.

As well as its scenic surroundings, Cleggan village is around 6km away and has a shop, school, seafood restaurants and pubs.
