By any measure Apple Tree House falls into the ‘dream home’ category.
This stunning 5 bed residence is located in Gortflugh, just outside the thriving coastal town of Rathmullan in Co Donegal.
Set on an elevated two acre site, Apple Tree House boasts magnificent views over Lough Swilly and direct access to the beach.
Originally built in the 1980s, Apple Tree House was recently renovated to a contemporary design and now offers a B3 energy rating.
The home is cleverly laid out to take advantage of the uninterrupted views of Lough Swilly but every inch of it is sure to take your breath away.
A bright and spacious entrance hall with white wood panelled walls welcomes you to Apple Tree House.
The large open plan contemporary kitchen/dining/sitting room at entrance level is the heart of the home and enjoys spectacular panoramic views of the Lough through the vast floor to ceiling windows.
This space also opens up onto a spectacular sheltered terrace which provides an idyllic setting to relax and unwind or for sunny summer BBQs.
Three luxurious ensuite bedrooms are on the entrance level. The sumptuous master suite is a complete haven of relaxation, complemented with an ensuite bathroom and two walk-in wardrobes.
A flight of stairs leads down to a spacious family room with exit on to a patio. From here one can reach two further bedrooms, one with direct access to the garden, a laundry room and a downstairs entrance hall.
The grounds of Apple Tree House are just as impressive as the residence.
The house is reached through an imposing entrance on to a sweeping driveway. The privileged beach front property is perched on a slightly elevated site affording direct access to the sandy beach below.
The two acres of grounds are graced with fine specimen trees, shrubbery, streams, stone pathways, and pristine lawns. A large pond also takes centre stage which features an island, reached via a bridge. A stone pathway leads to a raised gazebo situated perfectly to provide total privacy and unobstructed views of the Lough.
A second entrance leads to a two-storey solid oak outbuilding, with plenty of potential for converting into a fitness studio or extra guest accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission.
The property is also situated in one of Ireland’s most beautiful areas. Rathmullan village is a quaint seaside village on the western shores of Lough Swilly in Co Donegal.
It is best known for its beautiful unspoilt 3km long sandy beach where you can enjoy swimming, sailing, canoeing, windsurfing and various other water sports.
The area is popular with visitors which has led to a vibrant café and food culture with excellent restaurants as well as the five star Rathmullan House Hotel and an abundance of holiday cottages.
The surrounding area offers many amenities including several golf courses within 40 minutes of the village at Portsalon, Otway and Buncrana, which can be reached by the Swilly Ferry which operates services every 1 hour 20 minutes.
