Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a spectacular, private and unique coastal property.
Roslynagh Lodge is one of the finest contemporary Residence ever to be offered for sale in this area. A stunning location, a striking house and extraordinary attention to detail create this coastal property jewel.
An oasis of calm and quiet privacy, the elevated 6.5 acre site is on the breath-taking west Mayo coast, close to the renowned Wild Atlantic Way between bustling Westport and scenic Achill.
Designed by an award winning architect strongly influenced by the surrounding built environment, Roslynagh Lodge includes a two-storey tower inspired by nearby Rockfleet castle, home of legendary pirate queen Granuaile. Nestled into a small hill and only visible from the sea, the house boasts panoramic views of Clew Bay with its myriad submerged drumlin islands surrounded by rugged hills including Ireland's holy mountain Croagh Patrick.
The exceptional five-bedroom residence built by the current owners enjoys a stunning waterfront position and the modern design maximises light and space, offering generous, well-proportioned accommodation throughout.
The property is approached through striking wrought-iron gates which open to a gravel driveway, giving unsurpassed panoramic views from Castlebar and the plains of Mayo in the east to Clare Island and the Atlantic Ocean in the west. Passing through an arched stone-clad tower secured with a pair of 12 feet high wooden doors reveals an inner courtyard and the main entrance to the house.
Solid oak double doors lead through a porch to a grand double-height atrium entrance hallway bathed in natural light from large roof windows. A feature stone fireplace gives a focus to the room, a bespoke bookcase further enhances the adaptable space, and a feature staircase leads to a mezzanine landing.
Designed for entertaining guests, the hall opens to a spacious west-facing drawing room with wall-to-wall ceiling-height windows giving views of the bay, Clare Island and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. A door gives easy access to a patio outside. The two rooms are joined by two sets of frosted glass double doors which can be opened to make a single large space, with an adjoining cloakroom and WC.
A cosy sitting room with feature sandstone wall leads to the open-plan kitchen-dining room with spectacular vaulted ceiling and substantial reclaimed pitch-pine beams. The south-facing showpiece room boasts a vast granite-topped island, twin-oven Paul Bocuse gas-fired range cooker, bespoke fitted kitchen storage, a walk-in pantry, and sliding glazed doors to the outside.
This area is completed with a utility room, cloakroom, WC and shower which doubles as a mud room accessed by a second entrance to the house.
The very generous master suite is the only upstairs accommodation and includes a large bedroom with fitted wardrobe units along two walls, a separate study, and a large stone-tiled bathroom with a spacious rainfall shower and double jacuzzi bath, and a picture window to enjoy stunning sunsets.
Downstairs, the hall leads to two double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and two walk-in storage cupboards.
The north wing of the property is designed to be flexible. It can be accessed via an internal door or used as a self-contained unit with a separate external door and entrance porch. It comprises a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a further double bedroom, a family bathroom, a walk-in storage cupboard, and a fitted kitchen and living room with Jotul wood burner. This offers flexible living arrangements, perfect for multi-generational use or as guest accommodation, enhanced with its own parking area.
The building features extensive use of stone both outside and inside, with granite and blue limestone exterior walls and natural Bangor blue slate roof. The interior is finished to the highest standards with solid oak and natural Jura limestone floors, solid oak doors, and large picture windows throughout.
The accommodation extends to approximately 4,927 sq ft as shown on the accompanying floor plans.
Outside
The sheltered private courtyard includes a paved patio area, flower beds, ample parking and a three-car garage and workshop area with abundant built-in storage.
The rear of the courtyard is secured by a wrought-iron fence and gate.
A granite flagstone pathway leads from the main entrance to a generous room designed as an artist's studio complete with floor-to-roof-apex north-facing windows for exceptional lighting. The flexible space is also suitable for an office, additional guest accommodation, gym or craft space.
A ventilated wooden-walled building with large doors to facilitate deliveries adjoins the studio. This multipurpose space is perfect for wood storage and potting plants.
Geothermal under floor heating throughout the house is managed in a dedicated plant room that also houses a water treatment system fed by an abundant deep-bored well. Waste water is managed by a pumped sewage treatment unit.
The garden and grounds include two large paddocks, one of which is fringed by a semi-mature native woodland area. A short path leads to the sea shore where the shingle beach and causeway leads to Roslynagh island with abundant opportunities for shore fishing. A tidal shore road protected by a rock wall leads to a second sheltered bay perfect for mooring a boat, while Roigh Pier, just a few minutes away, provides good access for larger vessels.
