Three homes shaped by waterfront views
Sophie Halligan
Water takes centre stage in these three homes, where lakeside and coastal settings shape both the properties themselves and the lifestyles that come with them.
From the shores of Lough Corrib in Galway to the Atlantic coastline of West Cork and the lakelands of Clare, each home makes the most of its surroundings through expansive views, bright interiors and direct connections to the landscape outside.

Set on an elevated site overlooking Rinneroon Bay on Lough Corrib, this contemporary Galway home has been designed to make the most of its waterfront setting.

Selling Agent: Harry Brann Auctioneers & Valuers
Asking Price: €595,000
Fisherman’s Lodge in Moynoe offers a quieter waterside setting in the heart of Clare’s lakeland region near Scarriff. More traditional in character, the property is well suited to buyers seeking a countryside escape surrounded by nature and outdoor activity. The area is closely associated with boating, fishing and lakeside living, giving the home a peaceful retreat-like atmosphere that reflects the slower pace of the surrounding landscape.
While different in style and scale, all three properties reflect the lasting appeal of living by the water, offering peaceful settings closely connected to nature and the outdoors.
