Occupying an exceptional lakeside setting on the shores of Lough Rea, The Lookout is a striking contemporary residence designed to maximise its enviable position and panoramic views across the lake, with the Slieve Aughty Mountains providing a spectacular backdrop.

Approached via a professionally landscaped tarmacadam driveway bordered by square-profile kerbing and mature planting, the quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail is immediately evident. Internally, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to create a bright, modern living environment, finished to a notably high specification throughout.

A welcoming entrance porch leads to the ground floor accommodation, where a light-filled hallway provides access to three generous double bedrooms, all featuring bespoke fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious en suite and elegant feature panelling, while the other two bedrooms enjoy direct access to the rear garden. A spacious family bathroom, cloakroom and fully fitted utility room complete the accommodation at ground floor level. Porcelain floor tiling extends throughout the circulation areas and bathrooms, complemented by quality timber flooring within the bedrooms.

At first-floor level, the dramatic open-plan kitchen/dining/ living area forms the heart of the home. Positioned to capture uninterrupted views over Lough Rea, the impressive space enjoys an abundance of natural light and seamless connectivity to both indoor and outdoor living areas.
A bespoke kitchen has been finished to an exceptional standard, featuring quartz worktops with waterfall-edge detailing, an expansive central island, an under-mounted 1.5 bowl sink with fluted drainer, an oversized hob and cleverly concealed breakfast bar with appliance storage area. A guest WC and additional storage completes this first floor level.

A standout feature is the glazed balcony extending from the main living space, offering a stunning vantage point from which to enjoy the panoramic lake views. Direct access is also provided to the private rear garden via a contemporary external staircase.

The rear garden is laid out principally in lawn and complemented by an attractive paved patio area, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. External lighting to both the front and rear further enhances the property's appeal.

Thoughtful architectural detailing is evident including striking glazed floor features at first-floor level that allows natural light to permeate the hall below, together with a bespoke internal picture window above the staircase that perfectly frames the surrounding landscape.

The Lookout benefits from an impressive A-rated specification, including air-to-water heat pump system, underfloor heating throughout, mechanical heat recovery ventilation, high levels of insulation and airtightness, and triple-glazed PVC windows and French doors. A composite front door with hardwood frame further enhances thermal performance and security. Electrical specifications include ducting for fibre broadband, USB charging points and a comprehensive range of modern conveniences, ensuring the property is as efficient and future-proofed as it is visually impressive.

Combining contemporary architecture, exceptional energy efficiency and an unrivalled lakeside setting, The Lookout represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinctive home in one of East Galway's most desirable locations.
