Description
20/02/2026 - 12:00 FOR SALE BY LIVE STREAM PROPERTY AUCTION, FRIDAY 20th FEBRUARY 2026. You Must Pre-Register on Our Website - With Bidder Security Fee Paid By – Thursday 19th February 2026. From time to time, a truly special property comes to market, and this charming four-bedroom traditional Irish thatched cottage is one such opportunity. Nestled just moments from the villages of Clarinbridge and Maree, both of which offer shops, churches and primary schools, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting with excellent local amenities close by. Ballynacourty is located only nine minutes from Oranmore Village, providing a wide range of services including shopping centres, restaurants, bars, primary and secondary schools, as well as rail and bus connections. The area is also close to Renville Park, Galway Bay Golf & Country Club, Renville Sailing Club, and a variety of sporting and recreational facilities throughout Maree and Oranmore. The property is approached via a gravel yard and framed by traditional stone walls bordering open countryside, evoking the charm of a bygone era. The cottage is attached to two stone-built outhouses and is offered for sale with approximately 16.28 acres (6.59 hectares) of land. The land comprises approximately 11.28 acres (4.56 hectares) of good-quality agricultural land, along with a further 5 acres (2.03 hectares) that is subject to seasonal flooding and therefore unsuitable for winter use. Accommodation centres around a spacious open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, with a solid fuel stove as its focal point. Four compact bedrooms open off this central space, with two located to the front of the cottage and two to the rear. A kitchen/utility room is accessed from the living area, leading to a bathroom and rear entrance. The back door opens onto the yard and provides access to the land behind the cottage. A neighbouring field contains a small stable block suitable for sheltering animals. This picturesque location offers convenient access to Galway City Centre and is within close proximity to both the M6 and M18 motorways, providing direct routes to Limerick and Dublin. While the property requires modernisation, it presents an ideal opportunity for someone seeking a character-filled project in a tranquil setting, without sacrificing access to modern conveniences. For those wishing to own a unique piece of Irish heritage, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Viewing is highly recommended.
