Des res on Derg

Forget the sporting rivalry and take to the waters instead, writes Tommy Barker

Lay down the hurls and sliotars, forget the rivalry and any auld big match that might be coming up - and pick up the oars or rods instead for peace, quiet and a waterside retreat at Co Clare’s Anna Carriga Marina Walk.

Here, a development of holiday and second-homes by the widest part of Lough Derg, (four miles from Killaloe), sees a mix of 12 townhouses, some cottage style, and nine larger, more luxurious detached four-beds. Now, one of the 1,400 sq ft four-beds at Marina Walk out the Scarriff road, with lake and deck vistas, is for sale, with a €110,000 asking price quoted by Colette Hanly of Clare Tipp Properties. She says it’s in a very well-run complex with tennis courts, near the Killaloe Yacht Club and by the University of Limerick Activity Centre, ideal for those into water activities.
