LOCATION/DESCRIPTION
Gortmore/ Corrib Basin
Gortmore, a townland of choice for many people enjoying the peace and tranquillity of country life, lies at the edge of the Moycullen and Rosscahill parishes and within whispering distance of Lough Corrib. Its undulating countryside of richly patterned green fields, separated by local drystone walls from another era, add charm and character to this lakeside area of western Lough Corrib.
Description
Visitors are greeted by lawns on either side of the tarmac driveway and a pair of magnificent ash trees standing sentinel in front of the house. Completed in 2001 as a timber frame structure, this impressive Gothic style residence has spared nothing in showcasing the best of materials and workmanship. Because the limestone cladding was hand cut and shaped, it took 19 months to complete that part of the project. Internally, light floods throughout the house - easy, as there are 33 individual windows plus four large veluxs. All are custom teak. Its floor area of approx. 3,010 sq. ft. incorporates Italian Travertine, Spanish porcelain and solid oak floors, not forgetting the under-floor heating. In mint condition and magnificently laid out , its open plan kitchen/ family area dining room are superb while the richly coloured living room is the perfect entertainment room. There is a beautiful guest bedroom on the ground floor with shower room, walk in wardrobe and own private sun patio. Rarely does one find such generous specifications in a modern home - this has it all!
Garden
Effectively a ‘natural' garden with lawns encircling most of the house and dry stone boundary walls to the front. Within its midst are walkways to and fro while the younger folk enjoy their own meadow and tree house structure. From the dining room patio one is beckoned by an intriguing ‘Long Island' style boardwalk meandering off into the distance. It eventually ends up at your own canal dock.
Lough Corrib Access
At the boardwalk's end, there is a berth area for a boat or two. These canals which blend into Lough Corrib enabled locals, in former days, to transport goods to market in Galway city. Today, you can still enjoy this secluded canal as you glide along its mysterious and ancient way to Ower Bay and directly into Lough Corrib.
Location
Situated just 4.5 miles from Moycullen village there is, within one mile, the local store, pub and excellent national school. The well known fishing piers at Knockferry and Callownamuck are just a few minutes drive. Moycullen is within 7 miles from the bustle of Galway city and is an easy commute from Gortmore.
