A four-bedroom waterfront home in Connemara with its own private slipway has come to the market, offering boating access directly from the property onto Ballinakill Lough.

Lakeside at Ballinakill, Lettermullen, Co Galway, is a detached residence extending to 154.3sq m (1,661sq ft), with direct lough frontage and a slipway suitable for launching small boats, kayaks and paddleboards.

For boating enthusiasts, the property's waterside setting is its standout attraction, providing the opportunity to keep a small craft at home and take to the water from the doorstep.

The house includes four double bedrooms, with one on the ground floor, an open-plan kitchen and dining area, living room and a sunroom with extensive glazing overlooking Ballinakill Lough.

Outside are mature grounds bounded by traditional Connemara stone walls, a tarmac driveway and three detached stone outbuildings offering additional storage.

The property is approximately 5.8km from Lettermore village and 17.8km from Carraroe, with the surrounding South Connemara coastline offering further opportunities for sailing, boating, kayaking and fishing.

Lakeside is being offered for sale through DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents. More here.
