The Agent's Perspective...
"Strangford Lough’ is an area of outstanding natural beauty and is much admired for not only its natural landscape but also its wildlife including birds and seals. It is a boating/yachting paradise with many islands to visit or shelter in the lee while waiting for a squall to pass. Changing tides and colour of the water add to the dramatic beauty of the environment.
Mahee Island is a tranquil place - serene even. A beautiful place to enjoy the wonders of the Lough or to venture out onto the water.
There is great history here too with Nendrum Monastic site being a short walk away. Believed to have been established by St. Machaoi in the 5th Century and also having links to St. Patrick. It is thought to be the best example of a pre-Norman Monastic site in Ireland.
Sitting right on the edge of the Lough and in the middle of such incredible surroundings, this detached two storey home is utterly unique.
A former wildfowl shooting lodge, the house has been in the ownership of the present family since late 1930’s when the family left Belfast with the onset of World War 2.
Following many upgrades and renovations over the years the house is bright, comfortable and designed to take full advantage of the spell binding views across Strangford Lough and its many islands.
The perfect retreat, a place to relax, to contemplate and to enjoy the social, cultural and natural attractions of the area.
Simply delightful".
