DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents are delighted to bring to the market a truly rare opportunity, a traditional two-storey farmhouse full of character, set on approximately 1.98 acres of land in the heart of Connemara's Gaeltacht, just moments from the sea and only a few minutes from the vibrant village of Spiddal.
Located a mere 400 metres from the golden sands of An Trá Mhór beach, this charming farmhouse offers the perfect canvas for those with vision, creativity, and a dream of coastal living. Whether you imagine a beautifully restored family residence, a peaceful weekend escape, or a holiday home in one of Ireland's most scenic regions, this property has all the elements to bring your ambitions to life.
Originally built in the 1950s and extended in the 1980s, the house sits quietly on a gently elevated site with views of the surrounding countryside. While the home is in need of full renovation, its traditional structure and generous footprint provide the ideal foundation for a remarkable transformation. Imagine opening up living spaces with large windows to let in the Atlantic light, restoring the warmth of original timber floors, and blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. With approximately one acre surrounding the house and a further acre of adjoining grazing land, there is plenty of scope for creating landscaped gardens, a kitchen garden, or even keeping animals or poultry, all just a short walk from the shore.
To the rear of the property is a scattering of old farm outbuildings, whispering stories of a bygone era. While not of significant use in their current state, they hold potential for conversion into studios, workshops, or guest accommodation, offering further value and flexibility. A garage-style shed built in the 1980s and a small cattle crush complete the agricultural features of the site, making it appealing for those looking to reconnect with nature and land-based living.
The location is truly special. Just 3.3 km away lies the welcoming village of Spiddal, a hub of creativity, culture, and community. Here you'll find charming pubs with live traditional music, cafés, restaurants, the well-known craft village, a medical centre, pharmacies, and a sailing club, all set against the backdrop of Galway Bay. The property is also ideally positioned along the R336 Galway to Carraroe route, served by Bus Éireann's 424 line, providing easy access to Galway City and the surrounding coastal communities.
This is more than a renovation project, it's a chance to build a life in one of Ireland's most breathtaking and culturally rich regions. Whether you're seeking peace and privacy, a base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, or a home where you can hear the waves from your doorstep, this property holds the key to something truly special.
The property may qualify for the 'Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant' of up to ?70,000 and for the 'Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) Grants' to help improve the energy efficiency of the property (subject to eligibility and conditions).
