A picturesque gate house located in one of the most scenic areas in the county is for sale.
The house comes with three bedrooms and one bathroom and is priced at €325,000.
The Gate House in Donegal Town is located on the former Lough Eske Demesne. The two 5 star Hotels Lough Eske Castle and Harveys Point Hotel are nearby making this an ideal overnight stay for guests attending functions. B&Bs in the area are kept exceptionally busy all year around.

The home is currently being used as a family home. The lodge commands one acre of ground with mature trees and a studio which could be developed further.
