14 The Lodges, Cornadarragh Forest Park, Belturbet, Co. Cavan is for rent on Daft.ie

Nestled deep in a forest with no discernible neighbors save the trees themselves, this alpine timber retreat offers the kind of isolation usually reserved for witness protection or hermitage. The private gravel motor court, seen here from a drone because no ground-level photograph could possibly capture its scale, comfortably fits one car and several existential questions about commuting to Belturbet. Note the complimentary garden shed, which, at current square-footage rates, may itself be worth more than the average studio in Dublin 8, and the picnic table positioned for al fresco dining in a climate that permits roughly eleven such meals annually.
