Tucked away in the peaceful townland of Cloongee, just outside Foxford, this exceptional two-bedroom detached cottage offers the perfect balance of countryside tranquillity and modern convenience. With the N26 only one kilometre away, you're never far from the amenities of Foxford (5km), Ballina (20km), Swinford (13km) and Castlebar (20km), while Ireland West Airport Knock (28km) is within an easy half-hour drive.
Originally inspired by the history of the site, this beautiful home was completed in 2018. Although retaining a small section of its original stone wall, the property is effectively a modern build, constructed with insulated block walls beneath a traditional pitched slate roof. The result is a home that captures the charm and character of a classic Irish cottage while delivering all the comfort, efficiency and quality expected from a contemporary build.
Accommodation comprises two spacious ground floor bedrooms, a bathroom, a large living room and modern kitchen. There is an additional bedroom and bathroom located in the converted loft space, which is accessed via a spiral staircase in the living room.
Approaching the property, a gravel driveway provides generous parking, while an attractive natural stone boundary wall creates an inviting first impression. Beautifully landscaped gardens feature an impressive rockery leading to a raised seating and picnic area, perfectly positioned to enjoy uninterrupted views across the surrounding Mayo countryside.
Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the property's heritage. Exposed timber beams, high ceilings, elegant sash windows, natural stone-effect plaster finishes and ornate fireplaces combine to create a home filled with warmth, character and timeless appeal. Throughout, the finish is of an exceptionally high standard, with extensive insulation ensuring year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
Adding even greater versatility is the detached outbuilding, cleverly designed to resemble a traditional stone granary. Fully self-contained, it incorporates a kitchen and living area, bedroom and bathroom, making it ideal as guest accommodation, independent living space, a home office, or potential rental accommodation.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the renowned River Moy lies just 700 metres away, offering some of Ireland's finest salmon fishing, while the peaceful rural setting provides the perfect escape without sacrificing accessibility.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully crafted modern cottage that successfully blends traditional Irish character with outstanding contemporary quality—a truly unique home in one of Mayo's most peaceful settings.

Building Energy Rating (BERs) give information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy costs. All properties bought, sold or rented require a BER. BERs carry ratings that compare the current energy efficiency and estimated costs of energy use with potential figures that a property could achieve. Potential figures are calculated by estimating what the energy efficiency and energy costs could be if energy saving measures were put in place. The rating measures the energy efficiency of your home using a grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’. An ‘A’ rating is the most efficient, while ‘G’ is the least efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is ‘D’. All properties are measured using the same calculations, so you can compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
