About this property
A little slice of heaven!
Make no mistake, this location demonstrates natures pure & raw beauty. There are no white picket fences and perfectly manicured lawns here. It is rural, quiet, peaceful and absolutely wild. Although remote, the house is 1 hour from Galway city with plenty to see & do when you are not relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Then at the end of a relaxing day, admire clear skies and a picture perfect view of star systems.
Courtyard & garden
You approach the house via a local road and pass by the front of the house with beautiful craftsman dry stone walls with built in raised flower bed and shed.
The entrance is large and brings you to a courtyard and elevated garden with a panoramic view of the bay, island, mountains & countryside.
The electric car charging port is to the rear of the house.
Ocean access
At the Ocean is the original home to a family of 9 who relocated to the 'new house' in 1950's.
The house and shed are now derelict. Beside the house we have built a viewing/BBQ area to enjoy the view.
There is a gate to the Ocean which has a horse shoe dry wall to provide a safe place to enjoy at the waters edge.

Connemara and its surroundings offer a variety of scenic and cultural attractions, ranging from stunning beaches and towns to historic sites and natural parks. Visitors can explore diverse landscapes, engage in outdoor activities, and experience rich Irish heritage.
Dog’s Bay Beach features white sandy shores: Located near Roundstone, this horseshoe-shaped beach boasts pure white sand made from seashell fragments and offers water sports like swimming, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. It is ecologically significant and adjacent to Gurteen Beach by a tombolo.
Clifden is the capital of Connemara: This vibrant town at the foot of the Twelve Pins Mountains is a hub for shopping, dining, and cultural events, including the Connemara Pony sales. It is a popular base for exploring the region.
Kylemore Abbey offers historic and natural beauty: Visitors can explore the Abbey, neo-gothic church, mausoleum, Victorian walled garden, and extensive woodland and lakeshore walks on its 1,000-acre estate. The site has a rich history linked to its founders and Benedictine nuns.
Connemara National Park includes Diamond Hill: The park hosts family-friendly and challenging hiking trails with views of Galway’s highest mountain, diverse flora and fauna, and a portion of the Twelve Bens Mountain range.
Killary Fjord is a glacial fjord with boat tours: Stretching 16 kilometres, it features steep mountains, ruins of a famine village, and opportunities to see dolphins. The area is also known for seafood like mussels and salmon.
Mannin Bay Beach & Blueway is a hidden gem: Near Clifden, this beach is noted for its white sands and clear blue waters, ideal for water sports, though it lacks an official lifeguard.
Screebe Fishery offers salmon and trout fishing: Located in Connemara, it consists of interconnected loughs and bank beats, with productive salmon pools and wild brown trout fishing in a wilderness setting.
Oughterard features medieval ruins: This small town near Lough Corrib has the well-preserved Aughnanure Castle ruins nearby.
Galway City provides diverse activities: About an hour south, it offers shopping, museums, outdoor activities, water sports, theaters, family fun, and nightlife.
