Just six kilometres southeast of the vibrant town of Westport, this property offers a rare chance to embrace the enchanting allure of the Wild Atlantic Way. Aughagower, derived from the Irish Achadh Ghobhair, meaning 'field of the spring,' is a picturesque village that reflects over 1,500 years of history alongside the serene beauty of the modern Irish countryside.
The cottage captures the essence of rural Irish charm, surrounded by rolling green hills that provide panoramic views of the stunning landscape. This idyllic location offers a perfect balance of tranquillity and adventure, with Westport's dining and shopping just a short drive away. Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in nearby attractions such as the Great Western Greenway, Clew Bay, and the challenging hikes of Croagh Patrick, along with pristine Blue Flag beaches.
Combining authentic character with modern potential, this property can serve as a permanent residence, a holiday getaway, or a unique rental investment. Living here means being part of a community steeped in history, with access to significant archaeological sites such as the medieval Round Tower and the ancient pilgrimage route, Tóchar Phádraig. Reaching this tranquil haven is also convenient; Ireland West Airport Knock is approximately 50 kilometers away, making it an accessible destination for international guests.
