Co Galway/€300,000: A seaside farm with the ruins of an old stone cottage and outbuildings on Cashel Bay in Cashel, Co Galway, is for sale for €300,000.
Lehanagh South, right, down an old stone track off the road from Recess to Carna in Connemara, has 32 acres of what agent Spencer Auctioneers in Oughterard, Co Galway, describes as "delightful gardens, meadows and good dry bogs". There is also 12 acres of rough mountain grazing. It has views of Cashel Bay and across moorland to the mountains of south Connemara.
It is in an area popular with well-to-do Dubliners sometimes dubbed "Connemara 4": it is secluded but cosmopolitan, with a sprinkling of good restaurants, good golf courses and top class hotels.
It is 40 miles from Galway city, 16 miles from Clifden, three miles from Cashel House Hotel and not too far from Roundstone and Connemara Golf Club at Ballyconneely.
The property does not have planning permission at the moment, but the agent expects that approval would be given for the reconstruction and extension of the existing cottage or replacement of the building. The stone track which leads from the road in is disrepair but capable of reinstatement, says the agent. A stream runs through the old farm yard.
