Welcome to an idyllic rural retreat that fulfils the aspirations of every equestrian/farm enthusiast.

Immerse yourself in tranquillity, far from the urban hustle and bustle, as this property offers a rare sanctuary of privacy and natural beauty.

The stone farmhouse, dating back to the early 19th century, is more than just a home; it's a living testament to history. Meticulously preserved, it showcases a multitude of unique vernacular features that have stood the test of time, rarely found today.

Step inside to discover a spacious living and dining area adorned with stone flag flooring and a traditional range-style fireplace, adding classic rustic charm. The ground floor also features a generous kitchen, bedroom, washroom, and practical external storage.

Ascend to the first floor, where you'll find two ample double bedrooms perfect for family or guests, along with a versatile and expansive landing primed for a small office space or cosy library. The dwelling has seen some recent refurbishment with further works required, giving you the perfect chance to customise your home to reflect your taste and the design style you prefer. 

Venture outdoors to uncover a selection of traditional outbuildings, each brimming with potential. The turf house, with its large stone fireplace, offers the possibility of being converted into an additional cosy living space. Further outbuildings can be used for extra storage or transformed into a gym or even a pool room with scenic countryside views. 

Situated on vast private grounds, this estate presents an outstanding investment opportunity for forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Just imagine setting up a camping site, renting land out as a dairy farm or pasture land for cattle, or growing your own fresh produce. Here, the possibilities for outdoor recreation know no bounds, inviting you to let your imagination run wild with ventures such as beekeeping, playing golf, or even creating a wildlife sanctuary.

The hill land behind the house borders Knockmore mountain, offering breathtaking views of Lough Erne. As an additional highlight, there is a ruined cottage that could have replacement dwelling potential. The remainder of the land is graced with ancient woodlands, streams, natural springs, and much more.
