Property Overview
Perched above one of the most active boating piers on the Southern Connemara shores of Galway Bay, and only recently completed, this formidable home employs local materials and the most compelling masonry skills this side of Peru, to exploit its location to the utmost.
Contemporary, cosy, and spacious – yet within forty minutes of Galway City, this is a very special place for rest, rejuvenation and making memories.
The gardens have been beautifully landscaped with wonderful traditional masonry work in local stone to accommodate its unique site and location above Sruthán Pier – just a stone’s throw from the sea.
A brick path surrounds the house, and under the escarpment in the shady back stretch, there is a large dual temperature Spa swim pool, with separate hot tub and an outdoor shower. There are two entrance gates to the property, a stunning curved driveway, and ample parking.
Accommodation
The house rises from the floor of a disused stone quarry, with the main entrance charmingly accessed via a contemporary drawbridge style walkway. From the lobby, a short hallway to the left leads into a spacious sitting room, with a lofty limestone chimney breast that bisects the dazzling view of the Bay. Heavy sliding barn doors open through to a cool sea-green kitchen, with bold walls of white and black quartz. A cooks dream, this kitchen is fully equipped with everything from a coffee machine and nutribullet, to an air fryer. Panoramic full height glazing maximises the omnipresent ocean views, with a broad, glazed sliding door onto a balcony. From here, external stairs connect to the paved patio below.
A black quartz breakfast bar with stools, divides this inclusive dining space. This living area is at an angled junction in the floor plan, with a main corridor back to the entrance, and an archway through to a generous and chic panelled dining room. A more formal affair with a table that can seat the entire compliment of visitors on convivial suede buttoned benches, and with a cocktail bar, wine cooler and ice machine in the corner, surrounded by sable stained panelling and stunning views. Beyond and behind a sliding glass wall, a monumental flat-screen tv monopolises the adjoining television lounge. A modern electric fire and a well cushioned sofa group complete the home-movie harmony. A Nintendo Wii is a welcome addition for Children (and adults!).
Off the main corridor back to the entrance hall, a family bathroom boasts a super double ended, extra deep, Corian slipper bath. Beside it, is the only bedroom on this level, with double bed and generous wardrobe space.
Oak return-stairs at the corner of the house lead to bedroom accommodation on the lower ground floor, with hallways running in two directions. The elegant master bedroom lies at the end of one. With windows in two walls, it has a generous walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room. Beside it is a colourful twin bedroom, also with dual aspect views and an ensuite bathroom – kids will love it. Complete with Lego, Fuzzball table and family board games. A picture window along the apposing corridor exposes the workout room with its multiple fitness machines.
Here too you will find the traditional steam sauna – a super addition to any holiday escape. There are two more distinctive double bedrooms along this hallway, both with ensuite shower rooms and walk-in wardrobes.
Location
The busy Carraroe peninsula on the northern stretches of Galway Bay overlooks an Atlantic inlet crowded with islands. The area is typical of the intensely crenulated Connemara coast, with dry stone walls and boggy fields, and big skies. A drive or cycle around the deeply indented coastline reveals many beaches of staggering beauty, and some of golden coral. You will also discover quirky little fishing harbours which provide sanctuary from the huge Atlantic swells. The local village of Carraroe has a small supermarket, a great Fish & Chip shop and a couple of cosy pubs.
