IRISHMist        A Cottage Farmhouse with Smallholding in County Clare  Ireland available to rent.

 

Hello & Welcome .....                    

 

The Cottage Farmhouse is tucked away at the end of a boreen (lane) which joins the Clonlara Road from Sixmilebridge in County Clare on Irelands West Coast. It is made available to those seeking a more self sufficient lifestyle. Self sufficiency (homesteading) and rural living go hand in hand in this area of Ireland (Eire).

The Farmhouse is situated some 7 miles from both Limerick and Shannon. Shannon Airport is a 20 minute drive away. The Town of Ennis and the Village of Killaloe are close by. Galway is about an hours drive away. The house has 3 Double Bedrooms, Fully fitted Kitchen, with Fridge Freezer, Cooker, and Microwave. Main Living Room with large Multi fuel stove and cheap to run night storage heaters. There is a separate Parlour/Dining room. All rooms throughout the house have been fitted with Double-Glazed windows. The Bathroom is combined with the Toilet and is to be found upstairs at the end of the corridor. The entrance is via a good sized porch. A telephone line is installed as is a Cable TV. system delivering all Irish Channels plus main four U.K. Channels, Sky News and BBC News 24.

No property tax or community charge is payable in rural Ireland and there are no other forms of rates to pay. Water rates do not apply. We have a  Workshop next to the house which could be used by arrangement. The only bills payable would be electricity, phone and bottled gas for the cooker and any fuel for the stove.

The property is sited in a South facing sun trap and has great views of the surrounding countryside and the distant Mountains. The house has recently had a new deep bore well drilled. The new well pump can provide about 3oo gallons of spring water per hour ( more than enough for smallholding needs ). The Smallholding is approximately 2.5 acres.  The Smallholding is an on going project so there is always more to do outside on the land, we welcome those that are happy to roll up their sleeves!

The House and Smallholding are available to rent at a reasonable price on a Strictly Full Year basis, we are not aiming to make profits from the letting, we set the rent at a level that just allows the continued existence of the Smallholding, please email to enquire the costs. We can provide a great stepping stone for people who are wishing to try out the way of life before committing to purchase their own Smallholding. Life in the Country is not for the faint hearted, but for those wishing to experience "Real Living" the rewards can be life changing. People tell us that there is a lovely atmosphere up on our hill, we certainly love every minute spent there.

Elderly Parents needing our care mean that we are now in the U.K. We offer the Smallholding to rent at 220 euro per week as a full years advance payment which is payable upon taking residence, we ask that a deposit be paid to secure the smallholding.
