Lap up the luxury ‘on top of the world’
THE opportunity to relax in a hot tub while enjoying panoramic views of Lough Derg may tempt a buyer to take the plunge and purchase The High Park near Ballina in Tipperary.
Although there are quite a number of spacious detached properties on the lake, it’s unlikely that many come with the extra indulgence of a hot tub so close to the waters edge. On the market with both Clare Tipp Properties and with Rooneys in Limerick, this is a 4,100 sq ft house with quite a few extras both inside and outside. Guiding at €975,000, the architecturally-designed property was built in 2006 and redesigned and refurbished the following year. Designed to make the most of its lakeside setting, it is high-spec and contemporary although the décor also shows some classical influences. An Italian influence can be seen in the gardens where there’s a Romanesque fountain, a pond with a statue and sculpted eagles on the limestone entrance.
