Seal’s Cove, Emloughmore, Ballyconneelly, Clifden, Co. Galway

Clare Connolly Estate Agent is delighted to present this charming four bed, two bath cottage located in Seals Cove, Emlaghmore in the heart of Connemara to the market for sale. The property while in need of some upgrading has enormous potential to extend subject to planning permission. It has the added advantage of being positioned on the Wild Atlantic Way with direct access to Maumeen Lake. It is approximately 5Km to the village of Ballyconneely, 10K to the Connemara Championship golf course, 10Km to the port of Roundstone and approximately 14Km to the wonderful town of Clifden, host to a number of excellent restaurants, pubs, bars, music venues, and shopping outlets. Indeed, the town is rapidly earning the reputation as the West of Ireland’s gourmet capital. There are numerous fishing lakes, rivers and streams in the area. The Twelve Ben’s and the National Park at Letterfrack provide ideal terrain for walking, hiking, climbing and other outdoor pursuits. Kylemore Abbey, a former girl’s school run by the Benedictine nuns is a 20 minute drive away and apart from being one of Europe’s most beautiful locations, is now a Global educational partner with the American Ivy League university, Notre Dame.

It is a perfect hideaway for the voracious reader/writer, musician, or for a family who can while away the long summers by the sea. You can indulge in all sorts of water sports from water skiing, sailing, surfing, trout fishing, sea angling to name but a few, or simply gaze at the seals basking on the rocks and the stunning sea views of Mannin Bay and the Errislannon peninsula.

The accommodation includes four generous sized bedrooms with the master en suite, and there is a main family bathroom. Generous sized living room and fully integrated kitchen/dining room. Electric heating. Double glazed windows. Mains running water. Septic tank. The main property measures approximately 120 sqm. The building at the rear of the house measures approximately 8 x 4.5m over two floors (70m2 over two floors). Internally it is open plan with electrical sockets but no plumbing. (At present it is a builder’s finish). The upstairs level is accessible by ladder. It has the potential to be turned into an office space or workshop, or an apartment or granny flat. The property sits on approximately 5 acres of land which is suitable for grazing. (Planning permission may be granted in some cases).
The local Primary School is Naoimh Caillin. Knock and Shannon Airports are within a 2.5 hour drive. Local buses travel from Ballyconneely on a daily basis and the City Link travels to Clifden.
