Description

‘Crann Síog’ (gaelic for ‘fairy tree’) is a professionally designed, environmentally friendly c.3,243 sq ft four bedroom property with a two storey detached garage and stables completed in early 2006. Sitting on c. 23 acres of land great lengths were made to ensure that this home was sensitively designed with stone floors, French aged oak, open fires, natural oak beams giving it a rustic country quality to compliment the secluded valley location. Quality local materials were used throughout including traditional quary slates, local stone, modern double glazed wooden / aluminum sash windows and natural timber giving a distinct old style feel to the entire property. Geothermal heating, solar water heaters, under floor heating and bison concrete slabs were used thus creating a cost-effective, energy efficient and healthy home environment.

The c.23 acres of land includes some quality grazing and some mature mixed deciduous woodland which runs down to Lough Gartan and has a shoreline of approximately 400 metres. With a mature woodland setting and its own waterfront you are truly in the most peaceful and naturally abundant place you could ever imagine. The lake has a large number of brown trout and also has salmon migrating up from the River Lennon to spawning grounds in tributaries further up. Crann Síog enjoys a panoramic view of Gartan Lake and the beautiful Claggan South mountain range of the Glenveagh National Park. With a South /South West aspect this house is at its best through the latter stages of the day and enjoys breathtaking sunsets glinting off the southern end of the lake.

This stunning home has two airports within an hour's drive which have direct

links to London, Dublin, and several regional UK airports. Crann Síog is a unique property, offering an extraordinary peace and scope to enjoy nature and the outdoor life to anyone who truly wishes to escape to the peace of the country. Take a walk through the woods and down to the water and you will find nature and peace of rare quality.
