Galway’s property market is set for a strong finish to 2025 as the team at O’Donnellan & Joyce auctioneers prepare to bring 18 lots to their final live-stream auction of the year on Friday, December 5 at 12 noon. While the catalogue spans the country, one Galway property in particular is commanding significant attention: The Mews, Rockbarton Park, Salthill, guided at €825,000.
Positioned just moments from Salthill Promenade, this detached five bedroom bungalow represents one of the most notable offerings within Galway city in recent years. Located in the prestigious and low-density neighbourhood of Rockbarton Park, The Mews combines rarity, scale, and location, three attributes seldom found together in the Galway market.
Extending to approximately 220sq m, the residence offers bright and spacious accommodation including a welcoming hallway, front living room, open plan kitchen/dining area, utility room, five bedrooms (one en suite ), main bathroom, and an attached garage. Externally, the property is set on a beautifully maintained, tree-lined site with extensive gardens to the rear and cobbled parking to the front.
Rockbarton Park sits just 500m from Salthill village and within easy reach of schools, the Salthill Hotel, leisure facilities, and Galway’s most scenic coastal amenities. With limited transactions in the area over the past decade, opportunities in this location are exceptionally rare. Being offered with tenants in situ, the property is expected to draw strong interest from investors and long-term planners seeking a foothold in Galway’s most coveted residential district.
Beyond Salthill, the auction includes several additional Galway lots offering a diversity of choice for buyers across the county.
In Oughterard, approximately 20 acres of land at Gortdrishagh, Derrymoyle come to the market with an AMV of €120,000. Just five minutes from Oughterard village, the holding offers substantial road frontage and future development potential (subject to planning ). Its natural landscape, proximity to Lough Corrib, and suitability for rewilding add to its appeal for both recreational and environmental uses.
For those seeking a well-located family home, a charming three bedroom bungalow in Cregmore, Ardrahan is guided at €340,000. Situated on a one-acre site with a large garage/shed and boasting a BER of C2, the property enjoys superb access to the M18 and is within convenient reach of Galway city, Gort, Kinvara, Oranmore, and Shannon Airport.
Within the city, a compact and strategically positioned 100sq m residentially zoned site on Seamus Quirke Road (AMV €100,000 ) offers excellent potential for future development. Located just 300m from University of Galway, this infill site represents a rare opportunity in a high-demand student and residential corridor.
Auctioneer Colm O’Donnellan says Galway interest remains exceptionally strong heading into the year’s final auction: “The Mews is one of the most unique properties to come to the market in Salthill in years. Alongside land, residential homes, and city-centre opportunities, this auction reflects the enduring strength and depth of demand across Galway.”
The live-stream auction takes place on Friday, December 5 at 12 noon, with pre-registration required for online or phone bidding.
