Property Description

DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents are delighted to present this charming detached residence standing on approximately 0.71 Ha (1.75 Acres) in the peaceful townland of Rushveala, locally known as Old Chapel, just a short distance from the vibrant village of Oughterard. Occupying a mature and private setting just off the N59 Galway to Clifden Road, the property enjoys the perfect balance of tranquil country living and everyday convenience, with Oughterard only 2 km away and Galway City approximately 25 km from the property. Set amidst mature grounds, this appealing property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a detached residence on a generous holding in one of County Galway's most sought-after locations. The accommodation extends to a practical single-storey layout with three double bedrooms, bright reception rooms, an attached garage and two substantial detached outbuildings, providing an excellent foundation for those wishing to modernise and create a home tailored to their own style and requirements. Extending to approximately 1.75 acres, the grounds offer exceptional space, privacy and versatility. Mature trees, lawn areas and open paddocks create an idyllic countryside setting, while providing endless opportunities for gardening, hobby farming, equestrian pursuits or simply enjoying the freedom that comes with a property of this scale. Complementing the residence are two substantial outbuildings, including a large storage shed and a second building incorporating three stables together with a spacious storage barn, making the property equally suited to agricultural, recreational or workshop use. Rushveala enjoys an enviable position on the outskirts of Oughterard, affectionately known as the Gateway to Connemara. Renowned for its welcoming community, excellent amenities and spectacular natural surroundings, the area offers an outstanding quality of life with Lough Corrib, championship golf, world-class angling, scenic walking trails, schools, cafés, restaurants and a host of sporting facilities all within easy reach. The breath taking landscapes of Connemara begin just beyond your doorstep, while Galway City remains an easy commute.
