Description
It is with great pleasure we offer this stunning residence to the market. "Scaraveen" is a magnificent 4 bedroom detached residence that sits majestically on a 1.58 acre mature, lushly landscaped site with the added benefit of 450 ft. river frontage onto Owenriff river.
It was originally constructed in the mid 1950`s & bought by the current owners in 2019, who have meticulously refurbished & upgraded the property to bring it to the current exceptional standard it enjoys today.
Upgrades such as Air to water heat pump, air exchange system, new wiring, plumbing, heating system, flooring throughout both the ground & 1st floor, bathrooms, kitchen, windows, doors etc, security systems, cameras, monitored alarm, have been installed.
Just a quick 5 minute stroll to the centre of the bustling town of Oughterard, this imposing residence offers the following accommodation: entrance hall, with beautiful oak parquet flooring & fabulous wainscoating, to the right of the hallway is a large bedroom with ensuite & to the left there is a lounge with faux antique fireplace, double doors lead to a 2nd large lounge with the same solid wood flooring following through - both these rooms are with American style shutters, as indeed do all rooms with a front facing aspect to include bedrooms at 1st floor level. The 2nd lounge also benefits from having an antique solid fuel fireplace - a door from this room leads directly into the kitchen & dining room with large sliding french doors leading onto the perfectly manicured lawns & patio.
It is difficult to do justice to this area with words alone, but the accompanying pictures gives one an idea of the quality of the units, which are ample. There is a large fantastic centre island with granite worktop & ample underneath storage.
All appliances are Neff (to include induction hob, double oven, grill, plate warmer, microwave, wine cooler fridge, full size fridge freezer), are built in & included in the sale.
A staircase leads to the 1st floor - where there is an amazing large mezzanine level - this space would suit a multitude of uses, to include informal lounge, games room, cinema etc. There are 2 picture size windows looking out onto the rear gardens & Owenriff river beyond. A small kitchenette is just beside this area.
Further accommodation at this level includes three double bedrooms, the main bedroom being exceptionally spacious - extending to a sq. ft. High ceilings with dual chandeliers, walk through wardrobe with wall to wall built in sliderobes & a stunning bathroom with jacuzzi bath, his & hers sink, walk in shower with American rainhead shower all combine to make this space the ultimate in luxury.
The two remaining bedrooms come with built in wardrobes & one is with en suite which also serves as a main bathoom.
In addition, there is a large garage to the side of the residence with remote door with fully fitted electrics and side window with fixture. Single door access to back area of house and back door.
The landscaping is at an exceptional level - mature grounds have been maintained to an impeccable standard, a hedge with back fencing (for additional safety) separates the grounds from the river & it is so peaceful to hear it flowing by.
IN addition to all of the above, there is a separate one bedroom , two storey chalet extending to 62.2 sq. m (669 sq. ft.) which is built to the same standard as the main residence - there is an open plan fully fitted kitchen & dining area with lounge, guest WC & at 1st floor level there is a double bedroom with separate en suite. This would be perfect for a nanny, au pair, relatives staying etc.
No expense has been spared to ensure this residence enjoys the highest possible specifications - both in the build & finish.
Dusk to dawn automatic exterior lighting system pertains both the main residence & to the chalet.
Entire exterior area of Scaraveen and the Chalet is secured with gates both remote and pedestrian. The garden area has illumination to all shrubbery, pathways and interlock driveway with electrical sockets and water taps positioned throughout area.
An interesting footnote - The name "Scaraveen" derives from the old Irish phrase "Garbh shíon na gCuach" or the "rough weather of the cuckoos," it marks a sharp, temporary reversal from spring warmth back to winter-like conditions & was used to describe unpredictable, harsh spring weather, including hail, frost, and gales. It also coincides with the arrival of the cuckoo bird in Ireland.
It is with confidence this agent states that this property is one of the finest, if not the finest that has been brought to market in recent times.
