WATER IS a short walk away from these two homes in Co Galway and Co Waterford: one by the sea and the other beside a lake.
Tamarisk Cottage, in the lower village at Dunmore East, overlooks a beach and is for sale at €700,000 through O’Shea O’Toole and Partners. The house has three bedrooms, a livingroom with sea views, a kitchen/diner, utility and shower room. There are gardens back and front and a garage. It is 10 miles from Waterford city.
Lough Corrib sits at the bottom of the garden at Lake Lodge on Glann Road, Oughterard, which has a private mooring. The five-bedroom house is for sale at €825,000 through Corrib Real Estate. Lake Lodge sits on about half an acre (0.224 hectares), split by a road, and has a garage.
The 19th century house at the heart of the property has been extended to create around 225.7sq m (2,430sq ft) of space. Three of the five bedrooms are en suite and the house has a games and sports room, livingroom, diningroom, shower and bathroom.
