About this property

Description

Set in the scenic townland of Derrylahan, this exceptional c. 2.3 acre elevated site offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in a peaceful countryside setting while remaining within easy reach of Athlone and its amenities. The property holds full planning permission for a well-designed 1,500 sq.ft. single-storey residence complete with garage, art studio, splayed recessed entrance, secondary sewerage treatment system, site services and all associated works. The location is highly convenient, positioned approximately 13–14 km from Athlone Town, making it an easy 15–20 minute commute. Ballinasloe Town lies roughly 27–29 km away, offering additional retail, schooling and transport options. The site benefits from strong transport links, with access to the M6 motorway close by, providing onward connection to the M4 and excellent routes towards Dublin and Galway. Families will appreciate the availability of local schools in the surrounding area. St. Ciarán’s National School at Rooty Cross, Oldtown is situated approximately 6–8 km from the property, while secondary education is readily accessible at Athlone Community College, located around 12–13 km away. The site itself is a standout—set on naturally elevated ground, it enjoys panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Its generous 2.3 acre footprint offers exceptional scope and privacy, allowing future owners to create a home that complements the landscape. The front boundary is defined by attractive stud railings, and the lands have been enhanced with thoughtful landscaping, including a selection of young trees already established on-site. This is a superb opportunity to acquire a spacious, elevated and beautifully positioned parcel of land with an excellent planning history, ideal for those wishing to build their dream home in a tranquil yet well-connected rural location.
