A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial detached home in one of Galway’s most sought-after coastal locations has arrived on the market, with Kyle O’Brien of DNG Leonard & Heaslip handling the sale.
Set on approximately half an acre in Forramoyle West, Barna, this exceptional four bedroom bungalow combines space, privacy and spectacular natural surroundings, while offering the convenience of being within easy reach of Galway city. Positioned on a mature, slightly elevated site, the property enjoys sweeping, unobstructed views across Galway Bay towards the Aran Islands and the Clare hills, a defining feature that sets this home apart.
The property extends to approximately 1,000sq ft and is designed around comfortable, practical family living. Natural light flows throughout the accommodation, helped by generous windows and well-proportioned rooms. On entering, a welcoming hallway leads to the heart of the home: an open-plan kitchen and living area featuring a fireplace with back boiler, creating a warm and inviting focal point.
There are four bedrooms, including two spacious double bedrooms, together with a recently renovated main bathroom. The layout provides flexibility for family life, guest accommodation or a home-based working arrangement, while the generous site offers considerable scope for the future, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Adding another dimension to the property is a separate log cabin outhouse, currently in use as home offices and a gym. With full fibre broadband and its own bathroom, this additional space is particularly suited to modern working-from-home requirements, a private studio, leisure area or guest accommodation.
Outside, the mature gardens provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. A substantial tarmac driveway provides ample parking, while a large garden shed offers valuable additional storage. The extensive grounds also present exciting possibilities for landscaping and potentially extending the existing accommodation, subject to planning approval.
Location is another major attraction. Forramoyle West enjoys a peaceful countryside setting just off the Galway-Spiddal road, yet Barna village is only a short drive away. Residents can enjoy the village’s popular restaurants, shops, schools and attractive seafront, while Galway city centre is less than 20 minutes away by car.
The property’s position in the Barna village planning zone limit is another noteworthy feature, potentially helping to preserve the exceptional outlook and sense of privacy that currently define the setting. For buyers seeking a home where the landscape is as important as the house itself, this is a particularly compelling proposition.
With oil-fired central heating, double glazing, an integrated kitchen, generous parking and a substantial site, the property offers a strong combination of existing comfort and future potential.
Handled by Kyle O’Brien of DNG Leonard & Heaslip, this Forramoyle West residence represents a rare chance to secure a private coastal home in one of Galway’s most desirable areas. Whether envisioned as a permanent family residence, a spacious retreat or a property with scope to evolve over time, its combination of panoramic views, generous grounds and proximity to Barna and Galway city makes it an outstanding addition to the market.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting, views and potential of this unique Barna property.
Asking price is €620,000.
