LOCATED A STONE’S throw from the shoreline of Lough Derg, Bunglasha Lodge is a taste of paradise.
The five-bed property in Ogonelloe, Co Clare is on the market for €1.3 million through Murphy Gubbins Auctioneers and BOC Properties.
It sits on three acres of beautiful grounds – including woodlands and paddocks – with uninterrupted views of Lough Derg and the surrounding countryside, and also boasts its own private jetty on the lake, plus 200m of private shoreline.
The sale of Bunglasha Lodge includes the option to purchase three adjoining stone cottages on a further six acres, formerly used by fishermen. These cottages date back to the 19th century and have planning permission to be extended and transformed into holiday homes, making for an enjoyable project for the new owners to undertake.
Stepping inside the 5,070 sq ft (471 sq m) property, the interior is light-filled and airy. The entrance hallway features a double height vaulted timber ceiling with marble floors, with double doors leading through to the living room.
This is the perfect space for entertaining, with lake views, a bar area and access to the patio that surrounds the house. A formal dining room is interconnected with the kitchen and family room for ease of movement if you’re entertaining guests.
The kitchen is bright and spacious, with ample storage space, granite worktops, marble floors and beautiful lake views from all of the seating areas. A utility room is located off the kitchen, with access to a double garage from here.
This space is well-suited to those who enjoy the finer things in life as it comes plumbed for a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.
Three of the five bedrooms are located on the ground floor, including the master bedroom which boasts an en suite bathroom, a dressing room, lake views and French doors to the patio.
Velux windows in each room ensure that the bright and airy feel continues to the first floor level too. There are two bedrooms and one en suite bathroom here, as well as the main bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms are interconnected, and would make for a luxurious private suite with a dressing room or reading room. There’s also another large room, which would be well suited for use as a den or home gym.
Bunglasha Lodge’s tranquil location creates the sense that you’re in a world all your own, but in reality the property is just a a 15-minute drive from Ballina and Killaloe.
With a vast expanse of grounds and accommodation, Bunglasha Lodge would certainly require some regular upkeep, but offers a truly spectacular place to call ‘home’.
