Lough Derg views and spacious home lift this above the ordinary

THIS is not an ordinary build, but then, there aren’t many of those on Lough Derg, fast becoming Ireland’s byword for some absolutely fabulous properties and other which are just big.

This particular example at Coolbawn has intricate but more expensive details, like the limestone headers and cills and Douglas Fir beams holding up the roof over 2,700 square feet of vaulted space.

At the foot of the Cominchas Forest Park, and with languid views of the lake, this six-bed property also comes with the option of a private mooring into the bargain.
