Prices for the two bed homes started from €400,000 while the three bed homes were €450,000, which resulted in all homes released qualifying for both the Help to Buy Scheme and First Home Scheme, for all eligible buyers.
All homes have been architecturally designed by O’Neill O’Malley Architecture, who have maximised the space, light and the impressive views towards Galway Bay. Also the homes are built to the highest standards with energy efficiency and sustainability to the fore. Each home will benefit from an A2 BER.
The properties are all concrete block construction with hollowcore at first floor level providing greater sound proofing between the ground floor apartments and upper floor duplexes. The homes benefit from a very attractive exteriors with a ‘Lacken’ stone finish applied to selected areas. Heating is by an air-to-water heat pump system with the ground floor units having underfloor heating throughout, while the duplexes benefit from underfloor heating at first floor level and high output radiators on the second floor.

Main contractors on the development Kelmin are well advanced on site and all the homes in Cnocán na Craoibhe will be completed in 2025.
Patrick Cormican of Sherry FitzGerald New Homes was pleased with how the homes have been received to the market.
“The launch of the homes in Cnocán na Craoibhe was highly anticipated given the quality, design and location of these homes, and we are delighted to report strong sales as a result," he said. "The fact purchasers will be in a position to complete sales and receive keys in 2025 also added to the attractiveness of the homes. Currently we have very limited availability in the one and two bed homes, while all three bed duplexes are reserved.”
