Overlooking the pool, 2 beautiful mulberry trees with sails hooked up in the branches, provide a shady place for summer dining with ambient lighting to enjoy your evenings.

Conclusion -

This property is immaculate throughout. It is perfect for full time living and special attention has been taken to ensure that each season is catered for. With full central heating and double glazing and a large open fireplace for winter use
.
The covered terrace to the front and sheltered rear courtyard to the rear is especially useful in the mid season months, where the use of a Patio heater and a fire-pit by the current owners, comes in very useful.

In addition, the beautiful trees and the 'abri' attached to the side of the house and overlooking the pool, provide shade during the height of the summer.

The garden consists of a wide and beautiful variety of trees, many evergreen, giving the garden interest throughout the year. It has been created so there are plenty of shady parts and also spacious grassy areas. It is a nature lovers paradise with profusion of bird life; from owls on an evening, to the hoopoe bird, finches, and golden orioles in the day and the buzzards circling up ahead. The pine trees are the home to several families of red squirrel. To the bottom of the garden there is an orchard with hazelnut, peach, pear, plum, cherry, apple, walnut and fig trees.

Having a fully fenced garden, the property is also a safe haven for family pets and children.

There is a pool house with electricity and heating and space for an extra fridge and storage.

There are 2 further sheds in the garden, both large enough for storing a sit-on mower and garden furniture.

This is a must see property for someone searching for something ready done, beautifully finished and sat in a private and beautiful location with a breathtaking garden. The property has been used in the past for 'summer rentals' and can command €20,000 in a short 8 week season. New on the market for Summer 2015, we feel sure this property will not stay on the market for long! Early viewing recommended.
