Barna, Co Galway – €1,600,000

This stunning six-bedroom property was custom-designed inside and out, with 8,415 square feet of floor space and three acres of landscaped gardens. It enjoys a tranquil, rural location, while being just 15 minutes from Galway’s bustling city centre and ten minutes from the famous Salthill Promenade.

The ground level comprises two main reception rooms, a glass conservatory with garden views, and a kitchen/dining area with bespoke fittings. There’s also a home cinema room and the first of six double bedrooms. The remaining five bedrooms are split between the first floor and a separate mezzanine level, and all of them feature en-suite bathrooms.

Galway City – €895,000

From the front, 86 College Road is an unassuming terraced property, but from the other side it is a celebration of natural light and modern design. The glass-walled rear of the house has spectacular views overlooking Lough Atalia, and brings the property’s total floor span to five levels.

Inside are four bedrooms, four bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area on the ground floor, and another large family area on the first floor with a rear balcony. Outside is a mix of patio tiling and landscaped gardens, plus a built-in barbecue.

Tralee, Co Kerry – €395,000

This six-bedroom dormer property comes in immaculate condition, and is currently unoccupied making for a swift move-in process. Situated on a site of half an acre with a gated entrance, a tarmacadam driveway and a large front garden, this property would suit a family looking to upgrade or a buyer looking for a home with guesthouse potential.

Inside, an oak-floored entrance hall with a beautiful Y-shaped staircase opens onto a large sitting room and lounge, plus an open-plan kitchen/dining area, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs, off a landing with a beautiful suspended chandelier, are four more bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Skibbereen, Co Cork

One of the featured dream homes in last week’s Property Magazine is West Skeam Island, located 2.4km off the coast of West Cork. As well as the 33-acre island, the next owners of West Skeam will take ownership of three stone-built cottages, an ancient Gnostic Christian Church, a pier, an old World War II airstrip and a Viking burial ground.

The three cottages were renovated in 2005 and feature oak flooring, modern bathrooms and heating systems, wifi, 4G mobile connections and broadband internet. In the main four-bedroom cottage there’s a custom fitted kitchen with a combo gas/electric Rayburn stove, plus a cast iron Sharnwood Island range.
