WE’RE HEADING WEST this week to discover what’s on offer for anyone with a budget of €600,000 max. Four detached homes dotted around Co Galway have made the cut this time, from a four-bed with stunning views in Leenane to a five-bed architecturally-designed home in Moycullen.
On an elevated 3.5 acre site, the view form this four-bed is hard to beat seeing as Killary Fjord is in its eyeline as well as the Maamturks and Twelve Bens. Spanning a roomy 255 m², this luxurious family home was built in 2011. It’s filled with high-end fixtures like the solid frame cherry wood kitchen, underfloor heating, and a whopping five en-suite wetrooms.
A large lawn, lots of parking, a detached garage and timber shed make up the surrounding grounds. A five minute drive from Leenane, the village has an array of amenities and there’s plenty to do if outdoor activities are top of the agenda. A swimming spot in Killary Fjord is just a stroll away, while beautiful Glassilaun beach is a short drive from here.
Architecturally designed and spanning 307 sq m, Duilleog is an impressive five-bed built for people who enjoy the good life, particularly when it comes to entertaining. Features include a south facing back garden with a covered veranda for al fresco dining and a bright kitchen with hand crafted cream built-in kitchen units, solid oak floors, a Belfast sink and a range cooker. A fully functioning sauna room complete with shower and changing area is also on the ground floor.
Head up to the first floor and you’ll find a a bedroom with an en suite bathroom, two children’s bedrooms, as well as a spacious master bedroom with its own lounge, walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. There’s also a family bathroom on this floor. Moycullen village is just 12 km from Galway city and commands lovely views over Lough Corrib, Ballyquirke and Ross lakes.
Located off the Upper Ballymoneen Road in Knocknacarra, 61 Maoilin is just six years old, so it’s energy efficient and in great nick. As well as everything you would expect from an energy efficient home, this property has solar panels that supply constant hot water. Inside, the house is a spacious 130 m², comprising a downstairs toilet, a living room, an open plan kitchen and dining area and also a utility room. Four bedrooms are above. There’s a shed is the west-facing back garden and off-street parking to the front.
This family home sits on an elevated site that has great views over Galway Bay. It’s also close to Colaiste na Coiribe and the Educate Together school on the Cappagh Road. Salthill Promenade is just a short drive away, too.
Number 3 Gort na gCrann is a modern and energy efficient home which was only built in 2019. It part of a small development of detached homes in Kilcolgan, a village situated that’s within easy reach of the coast, Galway city and Shannon Airport.
Inside, you can expect everything families today need in terms of space and comfort, such as a large open plan kitchen and a back garden that can be viewed from inside thanks to the floor to ceiling picture window. One of the bedrooms is downstairs and it has its own shower room, while the other three large bedrooms are upstairs. The master has an en suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and the added luxury of a balcony.

Sad reelection on our government when we have people with disabilities out on the streets protesting
Sad that those who have most difficulty in mobility are shaming the rest of the so called able bodied to bits. A nation without balls.
i agree with you 100% paddy, its a sad day to see them protesting. This is a low for the government.
And what is the bets that they will find even lower lows to sink to, in the coming budget.
@ Garry. Firstly I’m not entirely sure what your sentiment ‘in looking for what they describe as “equality”‘ means other than being quite derogatory in nature. Perhaps you think they should just settle? Would you react the same way if it were able bodied people protesting about unemployment?
The thing is Garry, guess what- a person with a disability has the same rights as everyone else. Yes by law the exact same rights and their rights are not being met. This march was not just about money, it was about the fact that government have continuously ignored this fact.
The cuts to disability have disproportionately effected people with disabilitiesn( more so than the general population) because of their situation.
So No Garry. They should not just settle. More so, what a disabled person calls ‘equality’ is exactly the same as what you would call ‘equality’ or anyone else for that matter.
Gary get a fing grip €25 a week waves for some people reduced to zero. We have spongers who never worked a day in their life free loading and getting everything handed to them. These people continually punching above their weight and teaching everyone else a thing or two and then we have narrow minder shitebags like u, uuuuuugh!
If I could have pressed that green thumb button a million times and have it clock up the amount of likes that this comment deserves I would have! Well said! :)
Scuzzer Willie o’Dea got a right roasting at it. He looked as if he wanted the world to swallow him up, quiet a feat for one of the most arrogant and disdainful men that you could ever meet.

gary, accept what? the cuts? do you also accept a meeting with your gp as i did last night bucketing in tears on how i felt about my future and how i felt i couldnt go on like this? to be offered anti-depressants because no one else will offer help when i need it? Look to the woman in mitts holding the scissors. the one smilin’ for joy with this sort of ‘acceptance’ c’mon this was the person at the gp surgery last night AFTER i had been in A’E with a broken hand and told i could not n take the pain killers offered due to flipping crohns disease and with a damaged achilles thanks for being too long in dodgey shoes and now on a morphine patch! yeh accept my a…the dodgies cos the hse had stopped funding the shoes!
gary i cannot understand your comments the disabled protesting today have taken the same cuts as you and i in every budget what they are objecting to is the extra cuts ontop of these that are happening every single day not once a year. this is unfair and has been happening over the last 3 years they have taken these cuts quietly but when they are told that their services are being cut and they have to sit at home respite is being cut if this was primary or secondary schools their would be a national outcry yes we want equality and to live in a fair and just country
In looking for what they describe as “Equality” I suppose it’s somewhat disingenuous to suggest they should accept the reductions in monies available to Government in these difficult times, like everyone else.
Garry, seriously…. ” reductions in monies available to Government”
not one of the Government ministers or Enda himself have taken a pay cut since taking office.
They make a big deal that they took their current jobs on reduced wages vs their predecessors, but those reduced wages were still a massive wage increase on their prior salaries as TDs and also a top up on their existing pensions that many are already receiving etc.
please use a little fact to back up your point, and think about the comments you are making.
Well done people for your time and effort.
Does anybody else think that guy in the background of the main pic. Looks like vinnie jones?? Just saying
have your say
