Perched at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean – with impressive views looking out over the Twelve Bens mountain range, local beaches and Feenish Island – Mweenish Cottage holds a spectacular coastal position with undisturbed sweeping views of the turquoise sparkling sea.
The location of this property is unbeatable. An ancient path beside the cottage leads you within two minutes to a beautiful, secluded beach. Wildlife sightings are a regular highlight – and when the tide is out, you can also enjoy long, relaxing walks along the shoreline. With so much unspoilt nature on the doorstep, this is an ideal haven for walkers, fishers, kayakers and all outdoor enthusiasts. The nearby village of Carna has three shops, two pubs, a pharmacy and a post office and service station.
Mweenish Cottage itself has been designed to exploit its exceptional setting. There are panoramic sea views from all the principal rooms and an architect-designed glass sunroom to the rear looking out over the everchanging seascape, where seals and numerous sea birds can be spotted. Ther are two small patios, one facing east for the morning sun and the other west for the afternoon sun.
Although carefully modernised, this pretty cottage still has the charm to transport residents back in time. Whitewashed timber ceilings in the kitchen add to the feel of the beach-side location and there are two solid fuel stoves that can be lit on winter evenings, while listening to the whistling wind and rain outside.
The cottage also features 2 bedrooms, kitchen/dining room, a cosy living room (which the current owners often use as a third bedroom during family visits), a bathroom with bath/shower and underfloor heating, as well as a second WC. The house is serviced with a waste water treatment plant and we are told has excellent wifi connection.
Outside the property, you will find a pretty (and productive) kitchen garden and five apple trees, as well as a garden shed. Mweenish Cottage sits on a site measuring circa 0.6 acre
Well presented and ideally located, this charming property holds all the key elements sought by people looking for a property in Connemara. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!
