16 Rivervalley is a cabin in Co Cavan that’s full of character.
MANY OF US dream of our own cabin in the woods at some point. A place to relax when everyday life gets a little too busy. So, whether you’re after a change of pace entirely or fancy a little retreat, 16 Rivervalley in Co Cavan is definitely a place to check out.
This three-bed log cabin is now on the market for €180,000 and seeing as it’s located in a gated forest, this means whoever buys it will have the perfect blend of solitude and access to society.
Spread across a generous 150 m², the rooms inside include a spacious open plan kitchen, dining and seating area that has access to a large covered porch.
The largest bedrooms sits on the ground floor and has an en suite bathroom, while to the back of the cabin, another larger bathroom and a utility room complete the space.
Upstairs, there’s an open plan mezzanine that could easily be transformed into another bedroom or living space. For the moment, it’s a bar with plenty of room for entertaining. It also has access to a large balcony for some fresh air. The remaining two bedrooms finish off this spacious floor.
The log cabin is built from Finnish Lapland pine and has plenty of Nordic characteristics, like the large decking and wood finishes, that are sure to add to the feeling of being far from Irish shores.
Location-wise, the cabin is in a peaceful and tranquil spot without being too far removed from the nearest town. It sits on the banks of the Shannon-Erne Blueway and the town of Ballyconnell is just a ten minute spin away and almost equidistant to Dublin and Belfast which are about a two-hour drive away.
16 Rivervalley, Ballyconnell, Co Cavan is on the market for €180,000 through James Spring.
