Claras house is nestled in the serene countryside with picturesque views onto Lough Ree. It is a truly unique, Georgian-style, stone-built two-storey home, perfectly blending historic charm with modern comfort. Tastefully renovated in 2024/2025, the property is sympathetically restored with insulated lime plaster, fully rewired and replumbed, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining its period character.

It is believed to have been built as a country home by a British family in Georgian times. During the land commissions Claras house was taken over by the Catholic Church becoming a parochial house for three years and then was bought by Irish landowners who pridefully owned it until recently.

This impressive turn-key residence offers spacious accommodation throughout. Downstairs features an elegant living room featuring a reinstated granite fireplace and new stove. A bright Kitchen/Dining room with new bespoke sage green units and solid wood counter tops. This leads to a practical utility room with access onto the yard and outbuildings. It had four generously sized Bedrooms, including one downstairs with En-Suite, Family-sized Main Bathroom. All rooms benefit from large windows with original shutters that welcome an abundance of natural light and showcasing the surrounding landscape.

Externally the property has traditional stone-built outbuildings spanning c.137m2 fronting onto a concrete yard which is accessed through double gates. Both the yard and outbuildings have an abundance of potential.

Claras house is ideal for any water enthusiast from fishing, boating or swimming, as it is located a short distance from Saints Island (4 mins), Barley Harbour (8 mins), Lanesboro (12 mins) which all provide direct access onto Lough Ree and the River Shannon. It is centrally located as it is 10 mins to Ballymahon, 20 mins to Glasson, 30 mins to Athlone and Mullingar.
