A private residential island in Co Donegal is now on the market and could be the perfect getaway for those seeking a life of peace and tranquility — without stepping too far away from it all.

Former Glory has details of Inis Saimer, which is surrounded by the calm waters of the Erne Estuary adjacent to the town of Ballyshannon.

Despite its sheltered location, the town centre is just minutes from the residence — via a short boat ride from the island’s private jetty — and the island is soon to be connected with high-speed fibre optic broadband.

The Victorian-era residence on the island has three double bedrooms, a generous open-plan living and dining space as well as a large function room that offers stunning views of the estuary.

For more details, see the island’s own website and contact Brendan Connolly at +353 (0)87 2995400 or [email protected]. Price is available on application.
