About Old School House, Goulane, Clifden, Co. Galway
Description
Nestled in the beautiful Connemara countryside in Goulane, just a short drive from Clifden town, this traditional former schoolhouse offers a unique opportunity for those seeking to restore a piece of Ireland's rural heritage. Set on approximately one acre on a quiet country road, the south-facing property enjoys spectacular, far-reaching views across the distinctive Connemara bogland, towards Cashel Hill, Errisbeg Mountain and the surrounding lakes. Its peaceful setting, natural beauty and sense of seclusion make it an appealing prospect for anyone dreaming of creating a private countryside retreat. The cottage requires substantial renovation, offering the opportunity to reimagine and restore the property to suit your own vision. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for a renovation project, an investor seeking an opportunity, or someone dreaming of a traditional Connemara hideaway, this property offers an exciting blank canvas in a truly special setting. Prospective purchasers may also wish to investigate the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, which can provide funding of up to €50,000 for qualifying vacant properties, with a potential additional €20,000 grant for eligible derelict properties, subject to the scheme's conditions and approval. Despite its peaceful rural location, the property is within easy reach of Clifden, the vibrant capital of Connemara, with its selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs and everyday amenities. The surrounding area offers wonderful opportunities to enjoy the region's renowned coastal scenery, beaches, walking routes and outdoor pursuits. A property with character, potential and an exceptional setting — an opportunity to create something truly your own in the heart of Connemara. Contact our office today!
