Property Description

DNG Martin O’Connor Estate Agents are delighted to offer to the market this superb c. 3.66 Ha (9 acres) holding of land ideally located within easy walking distance of Carraroe village, in the heart of the Connemara Gaeltacht. This exceptional property, formerly operating as a Caravan Park, presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial site with enormous potential for a variety of future uses, subject to planning permission. The property enjoys excellent road frontage and a highly desirable south-west aspect, ensuring maximum natural light and sunset views. The land itself is predominantly level, making it particularly suitable for development.

Existing on-site infrastructure includes two chalets, one formerly used as an office and the other as a toilet block, electricity supply, telephone line connections, and a larger-than-standard septic tank, all of which provide a strong foundation for further investment. With public footpath access and street lighting leading directly from the village centre to the site entrance, the location is as practical as it is scenic. Carraroe is a vibrant and welcoming community, offering an excellent range of amenities including shops, cafés, traditional pubs, restaurants, schools, a post office, chemist, Credit Union, medical centre, council offices, a library, nursing home, and a 24-hour ambulance service. A nine-hole golf course is located approximately 9.8 km away. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the property is within close proximity to some of Ireland’s most stunning coastal scenery, including the celebrated Trá an Dóilín (Coral Strand), a Blue Flag beach renowned for its unique coral shoreline and crystal-clear waters. Popular for swimming and snorkelling, this beach is lifeguarded during the summer months and draws both locals and tourists alike. The land offers tremendous potential not only for residential use particularly for those who can demonstrate a local housing need but also for tourism development or community use, such as a sporting or recreational facility, subject to the appropriate planning consents. Its size and location also make it a compelling proposition for those exploring opportunities in the eco-tourism or glamping sectors, all supported by the property’s existing layout and services. Carraroe is well connected to Galway City via the regular Bus Éireann 424 service and is within a 45-minute commute of the city centre. Both Ireland West Airport Knock and Shannon Airport are accessible within 120 minutes, making the area increasingly attractive for those seeking a balance between tranquil rural living and national connectivity. This is a truly special offering, combining scale, accessibility, and natural beauty in one of Ireland’s most culturally rich and desirable coastal settings.
