Set on the edge of one of Co Donegal’s most desirable villages, 5 Corrán Binne in Dunfanaghy is an A2 Ber-rated detached house laid out in an upside-down fashion.
Set on the Wild Atlantic Way, on the shores of Sheephaven Bay, the village attracts second-homers, weekenders from Northern Ireland, and increasingly Dubliners, drawn by its beguiling scenery and Blue Flag beaches.
The fact that you can walk to pubs, restaurants, food trucks, and be on the water or the golf course in minutes is also a big draw.
The village now also draws the surf crowd and shoulder season tourists, and is likely all year round, save for November and January.
Built about five years ago by Charles Roarty Development, the large four-bedroom property is situated off the Horn Head road, away from the lively main street, and has views aplenty from all of its large triple-glazed windows.
It opens into a terrazzo-tiled floor, warmed by underfloor heating, an air-to-water heat system that features across both floors of the property.
A glass balustrade leads up to the living quarters, where a gable-sized window frames the views.
These take in Horn Head and the crescent-shaped beach of Kilahoey, where you can see the horses galloping across the strand.
There’s a large eat-in kitchen, its shaker-style units set in a C-shape with a peninsula island that you can also sit at.
This room opens out to a glass balcony overlooking the bay and captures the vista.
The principal bedroom is also at this level and has an ensuite bathroom.
The other three double bedrooms are downstairs at the entrance level.
The large plot, where there is off-street parking for several vehicles, includes a detached garage.
The house is also within a few minutes of Lurgabrack Nature Reserve, which leads through giant dunes to Tramore beach, a beautiful spot that is great for walking the dog, but it is not safe to swim here.
There is a national school within a five-minute walk of the house. The nearest secondary schools are in either Falcarragh or Letterkenny.
The sizeable house extends to 172 square metres and is seeking €775,000 through Charlie Robinson Auctioneers.
