Doras Na Brionna, Ballycorban, Scarriff, Co. Clare, V94A4CW
Outstanding East Clare Property - “Doras na Bríonna” - A Private Rural
Residence of Character, Craftsmanship & Natural Beauty
Nestled into the lush, unspoiled hills of East Clare, this remarkable homestead set on 3.7 acres occupies a truly special position overlooking rolling countryside rich in lakes, rivers and woodland. A place of stillness and beauty, it offers complete privacy while remaining within easy reach of Scariff Town, Lough Derg, the River Shannon and the heritage towns of Killaloe and Ballina
The property has strong historical links to the local area dating back to pre-famine times. Built in 2004 on the footprint of the traditional farmhouse, the residence (167m² excluding double railed and shelved fitted presses) has been carefully crafted using original stone and brick, architectural features and natural materials, preserving its heritage soul while delivering modern efficiency and comfort. The result is a home of rare authenticity; warm, grounded and deeply atmospheric. The house is being sold furnished with the exception of some personal items.
The house is defined by craftsmanship and detail: natural slate roof, soft rounded finish to windows and doorways both inside and out, buttressed stone walls, double glazed teak sash windows with brass fittings, stained glass features, mahogany staircase, exposed timber beams, natural slate and wood flooring and a striking stone fireplace with original arch and antique carriage lamps. It has brass toggle switches, electrical fixtures and outlets throughout.
The house is very cosy, insulated to a high standard using sheepwool and rockwool insulation upstairs and 50mm board + 50mm pumped bead to the cavity walls. Dual underfloor geothermal heating, fibre broadband and integrated modern systems ensure effortless contemporary living. Two cast iron stoves - one of which is linked to the geothermal heating (hence dual heating system) - add to the cosy ambience on winter evenings. A 300L stainless steel hot water tank (compatible with solar panels if desired), provides lots of efficiently produced hot water. Night rate electricity ensures affordable comfort.
Accommodation is both generous and inviting, comprising 4 bedrooms (3 double, 1 single), two bathrooms (one with Aqualisa power shower), a sunroom, kitchen (including cooker, fully integretated dishwasher and fridge, Belfast sink and granite worktop), dining room, sitting room, entrance porch, boot room, cellar (fully shelved), and attic space (with folding stairs). There is also an adjacent utility with two large chest freezers, Miele washing machine, Bosh condenser drier and double sink with hot water, all included in the sale.
Every room carries a sense of character, texture and light, enhanced by handcrafted finishes and carefully preserved period details. The entrance porch features a traditional half door while the sunroom gives access to the rear courtyard by way of double French doors.
The surrounding grounds are equally exceptional. Mature orchard, fruit garden, woodland, native hedgerows, a small stream and wildflower-rich gardens create a landscape that changes beautifully with the seasons. Stone-walled vegetable beds, sheltered courtyards and intimate seating areas offer a series of outdoor spaces designed for both productivity and quiet enjoyment.
A collection of traditional stone outbuildings with natural slate roofs, including a two- storey barn, add significant versatility and future potential. A distinctive round-roof hay barn set on a stone yard with separate access and laneway also offers future options.
Despite its peaceful seclusion, the property is ideally located and well connected— just minutes from Scariff Town. While enjoying a private and elevated setting, the property is well served by nearby amenities, with Scariff just 7 minutes away offering both secondary and national schools as well as a Steiner Waldorf School. The town offers a church, shops, medical services, pharmacy, dentist, pubs, cafés, a post office, hairdressers, beauticians, library, bank, credit union, sports facilities, hardware store and a digital hub. The villages of Flagmount and Feakle are approximately 10 minutes away.
