Description:

With its rugged landscape, secluded position and spectacular views over a private lake, this property is simply a place apart. Built in 2008 to an exceptionally high standard, it was designed to sensitively follow the contours of the landscape.

Although, hidden from view, The Lake House has featured in several interior publications, both at home and in the UK. Set in 1.65 acres, the highest point of the property has a 360-degree view of the surrounding countryside and Atlantic. In fact, the beam of the Fastnet lighthouse, obliquely hits the house at night.

This unique single storey residence measures in excess of 2,100 sq.ft. Consisting of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the design ethos has a light, spacious, contemporary feel, boasting stunning views from every vantage point. Clean lines, sloping roofs and full height glazing maximise the natural daylight and aspects to their fullest.

The intentionally pared back interiors are strikingly sleek and functional. Utilising an all-white palette, wide plank walnut flooring and a choice of solid blocks of earthy shades generate a warm restful atmosphere.

From the living room, you have direct access to the water via a deck and patio. With herons, families of Mallard, Moore hens and freshwater fish, it`s instantly obvious that nature is the main focal point of the house.

The village of Schull, with its selection of bars, restaurants and shops, is approximately a 10-minute drive away. The blue flag Barleycove beach and the village of Goleen are within close proximity. The popular market towns of Bantry and Skibbereen are both approximately a 30-minute drive while Corks international airport is approximately a 90-minute journey.
