Seeking the ideal retreat, private family home, or business opportunity, DNG are delighted to welcome "The Sanctuary", an amazing property to the market.

What is "The Sanctuary"?
"The Sanctuary" features a spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom house with a generous two-car garage, alongside an open stone-built shed that once sheltered chickens and an old stone-built fuel shed.
In addition to the main house, the property features a variety of outbuildings, including three self-contained apartments, a spacious barn with four half doors showcasing scenic countryside views, a greenhouse/potting shed, a storage shed with old animal pens, and a large workshop equipped with two workbenches.

Where is "The Sanctuary" located?
"The Sanctuary" is a peaceful retreat that was once a haven for donkeys, situated in the townland of Gortacurka, just a brief 15 minute drive from Ennis Town. Set on an impressive elevated 5 acre site surrounded by forestry in the stunning landscape of County Clare, one can take in the tranquil views of Mullaghmore and the Burren Hills, all within the captivating ambiance of Ireland's Burren National Park.

Approached through old stone walls, a sweeping driveway winds its way to the main courtyard, where a tranquil stream flows peacefully in front of the house, cascading over two waterfalls before reaching the main entrance to the property.

Surrounded by lush gardens, shrubs, and forestry, the main house and three self-contained apartments exude a sense of tranquillity and seclusion in the stunning countryside. Both inside and out, the property radiates charm and character, inviting visitors to explore and appreciate its unique location. Operating successfully as "The Sanctuary" with Air BnB since 2016, there is also potential for additional development, subject to planning permission. Viewing is highly recommended and strictly by prior appointment with the sole selling agents. PSL002295
