About this property

Description

A fantastic opportunity for prospective buyers to acquire approximately 4.91 acres of residential-zoned land superbly located at Old Mill Road, Poolboy, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway. The lands, contained within Folio GY103781F, are zoned Residential – Phase 1 under the Ballinasloe Local Area Plan and previously benefited from full planning permission (Ref: 12/9000) for 39 residential units, which has since lapsed (2017). This ready-to-develop site offers excellent potential for builders, developers, or investors seeking a well-positioned project with proven local housing demand. Ballinasloe is a thriving and well-established town in East Galway, renowned for its strong community spirit, excellent amenities, and strategic location along the M6 Dublin–Galway motorway, providing easy access to both Galway City (under 40 minutes) and Dublin (approx. 90 minutes). The Ballinasloe Train Station offers regular services for commuters, while Shannon and Knock International Airports are both within comfortable driving distance. Local amenities include a wide selection of schools such as Clonfert College, family-run businesses, major retail outlets including Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, and SuperValu, and a variety of independent cafés and boutiques. The town also benefits from Portiuncula University Hospital, numerous sports and leisure facilities—including GAA, rugby, soccer, golf, tennis, and swimming—as well as the world-famous Ballinasloe Horse Fair. Hospitality options are abundant with the Shearwater Hotel & Spa, Gullane’s Hotel, and a wide range of popular restaurants and pubs. This is a rare opportunity to secure residential-zoned lands in a dynamic and expanding town that continues to attract strong investment. With established zoning, excellent local infrastructure, and sustained demand for quality housing, this site represents an ideal prospect for a well-located residential development in one of East Galway’s most vibrant towns.
