Inisliroo Island, Upper Lough Erne, Derrylin, Fermanagh, BT92 9LH

Property Description

Inisliroo Island is a unique opportunity to purchase a small piece of history. Situated in Upper Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Inisliroo is one of only 365 islands on Lough Erne. The Island is located approximately 500 yards from Knockninny Pier in Derrylin and extends to approximately 18 acres. With full planning for a new family dwelling and its own private jetty, it is indeed the perfect hideaway. The present owners have had the Island for five years and in that time have found out some of its past history. The Island had to fully provide for the Maguire family and as such every piece of it was utilised. After the Second World War the Island was famous for its fruit production. The Orchard provided much needed revenue and today it is still very much in tact. The original family home remains and has been refurbished in recent years. There are mains water and a phone line, and many original features such as a startomatic electric generator. In addition to the existing dwelling, planning has been approved for a further 2,000 square foot detached family home. The area is renowned for outdoor pursuits: water sports, water skiing, wake boarding and canoeing being amongst the most popular. On your own Island you can also pursue your love for angling and the vast array of wildlife will take your breath away.
