Property Description

Escape to Country Living – Two Homes, Endless Possibilities

Neamh Bheag, Ervallagh, Ahascragh, Ballinasloe, Co. Galway H53 CD39

Overview

Some homes offer accommodation. Others offer a way of life. Neamh Bheag is firmly in the latter category.

Nestled on approximately 1.4 acres of mature private gardens overlooking rolling countryside, this unique property offers the perfect balance of character, space and flexibility. The property combines a beautifully restored traditional Irish farmhouse with a fully self-contained detached log cabin, creating a rare opportunity for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle with plenty of possibilities.

Originally built around 1900, the charming stone farmhouse has been lovingly restored by its current owners, retaining many of its original features while incorporating the comforts of modern living. Extending to approximately 155 sq.m., the farmhouse provides warm and inviting accommodation with a wonderful sense of character throughout.

To the rear of the property is a fully functioning three-bedroom, two-bathroom log cabin extending to approximately 90 sq.m. This additional dwelling significantly enhances the versatility of the property and offers a wide range of potential uses. Whether required for multi-generational living, extended family, guest accommodation, a home office, creative studio, private retreat or potential holiday rental, subject to any necessary planning or other consents, the options are extensive.

The property is further enhanced by mature gardens, generous outdoor space, numerous outbuildings and three separate entrances. For those who enjoy gardening and outdoor living, there is also a greenhouse on site, while animal lovers will appreciate the purpose-built dog park within the grounds.

Neamh Bheag is a property that allows you to enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.

Location

Neamh Bheag enjoys a peaceful countryside setting in the townland of Ervallagh, just 2km from the increasingly popular village of Ahascragh and approximately 8km from Ballinasloe.

Ahascragh is a growing village offering local amenities, while Ballinasloe provides a wide range of services including supermarkets, schools, cafés, restaurants, Portiuncula University Hospital, a railway station with regular services to Galway and Dublin, and convenient access to the M6 motorway.

The location is ideal for those seeking a quieter rural lifestyle without being isolated, offering excellent connectivity for commuters and families alike.

Accommodation – Farmhouse

The welcoming entrance hall leads to a comfortable sitting room featuring a solid fuel stove. A second living room, also featuring a solid fuel stove, provides an additional reception space and leads through to the kitchen and dining area.

The kitchen has been designed with a distinctive timber finish, creating a warm country lodge feel. Patio doors open directly onto a large decking area with BBQ and outdoor seating, allowing the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow naturally together. From here, there are lovely views across the mature gardens and surrounding farmland, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the setting.

A ground floor bathroom completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The impressive master bedroom extends across the full width of the house and enjoys attractive views over the surrounding countryside.

The farmhouse is heated by oil-fired central heating, supplemented by solid fuel stoves, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout the seasons.

Accommodation - Log Cabin

The detached log cabin provides a second independent living space. Extending to approximately 90 sq.m., the accommodation comprises an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area together with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Heated by electric heating, the cabin offers excellent flexibility and can adapt to suit a variety of lifestyle needs. It could provide comfortable accommodation for extended family, a private space for older children, guest accommodation, a home office or studio, or potentially be used as a holiday rental, subject to any necessary planning or other consents.

The separation between the two dwellings gives the property an added degree of flexibility and privacy that is difficult to achieve with a conventional home.

Outside

The grounds are an important part of what makes Neamh Bheag special. The approximately 1.4 acre site provides space, privacy and a genuine connection with the surrounding countryside.

The mature gardens include numerous sheds and outbuildings, offering excellent storage and space for gardening, hobbies, workshops or other leisure interests. There is also a greenhouse, ideal for those who enjoy growing their own plants and produce.

For animal lovers, the purpose-built dog park provides a dedicated area within the grounds for dogs to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.

The large decking area adjoining the farmhouse provides a natural outdoor living space, overlooking the gardens and farmland beyond.

Why You Should Buy This Property

Neamh Bheag offers a lifestyle opportunity that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.

This is a property for those who value privacy, space and the freedom to create a home that works around their lifestyle. The combination of the restored farmhouse and independent log cabin provides exceptional flexibility, whether for family living, working from home, accommodating guests or creating a private countryside retreat.

The mature gardens, greenhouse, dog park, outbuildings and generous grounds also provide plenty of opportunities for those who enjoy gardening, animals and spending time outdoors.

The additional dwelling gives the property another dimension, providing space and independence for family members, guests or those looking to work from home. For the right buyer, it could also offer potential for additional income, subject to the appropriate permissions and consents.
