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.

Finally, Galway city is 72km away by car.

Currently on the market for €895,000, the property is on sale through Sherry Fitzgerald Mangan. Take a peek inside this tasteful Connemara home in our gallery below.
