Inis Saimer - Private Island in Ballyshannon, Donegal - Price on application

Inis Saimer is a private residential island surrounded by the quiet waters of the Erne Estuary in the town of Ballyshannon on the Wild Atlantic Way.

The island has its own private jetty, and is just one minute by boat from Ballyshannon’s Mall Quay. Inis Saimer is a sheltered restful place, a discreet island retreat, yet Ballyshannon’s town centre with shops, restaurants etc. is no more than 6 minutes from the front door of the island’s historic residence.

The residence on Inis Saimer, built in the mid 1800s, is very spacious boasting a generously proportioned open plan living space, comprising a kitchen and family dining and sitting areas, a large hallway that connects to a bathroom, three double bedrooms, and a large function/banquet room.
