Property Description

Shangarry — A Landmark Irish Residence of Heritage & Modern Luxury

Shangarry, Gurtymadden is an extraordinary country estate combining heritage, craftsmanship, and modern comfort across 395 m² of refined living space, set within 2.64 hectares (6.5 acres) of landscaped grounds. This remarkable property is a faithful replica of the original 1641 dwelling, built with meticulous attention to historical detail while integrating contemporary luxury throughout. The result is a residence of rare character, where authentic period features — including the original 1641 fireplace and original kitchen flagstones — coexist seamlessly with highquality modern finishes.

Approached through mature greenery and expansive lawns, the estate immediately conveys a sense of privacy and tranquillity. Its most exceptional feature is the private, springfed wild brown trout lake, a natural jewel that elevates the property far beyond a typical rural home. The lake is complemented by a bespoke Lakehouse bar, creating a unique setting for entertaining, relaxation, and lakeside gatherings. This combination of private water, curated outdoor spaces, and heritage architecture makes Shangarry one of the most distinctive residential offerings in the region. Inside, the home is generous and beautifully balanced.

With five large ensuite bedrooms, the residence is designed for comfort, privacy, and flexibility. The scale of the rooms, the quality of materials, and the thoughtful layout support both family living and sophisticated entertaining. Every space reflects the estate’s commitment to craftsmanship — from bespoke joinery and natural timber floors to carefully restored heritage elements that anchor the home in its historical context.

The grounds are equally impressive. Mature landscaping, natural planting, and wide open lawns frame the residence and lake, creating a serene environment ideal for outdoor living. Whether enjoyed for fishing, lakeside dining, morning walks, or evening gatherings at the Lakehouse bar, the estate offers a lifestyle that is both restorative and richly atmospheric. The property feels secluded yet connected, offering complete privacy while remaining within easy reach of Loughrea, Galway City, and key transport links. Shangarry is more than a home — it is a private rural sanctuary with deep historical roots, exceptional craftsmanship, and a suite of lifestyle amenities rarely found in a private residence. Its combination of acreage, architectural authenticity, private lake, and substantial interior space positions it as a truly unique estate in the Galway countryside.
