The setting of this property is described by negotiator Austin McInerney as "the best setting on Galway Bay". The former oyster catcher's cottage is situated at the end of a narrow boreen and set immediately adjacent to the ocean on the stretch between Galway Bay and Aughinish Bay. It looks out onto the red bank oyster beds. Nearby is the famous Linnane's lobster bar and the equally famous Flaggy Shore. The property includes around 0.82 acres, which will offer the opportunity to extend and develop this existing house. The cottage is in excellent repair and comprises living room with open fire and a kitchenette with WC and a bunk bed. There is an ante-room, which houses the shower. The property is compact and originally stood on 0.05 of an acre. The present owners have acquired the adjoining land and because this is a working residence, future planning for extension or improvement is a formality. The property does not have a septic tank and it made use of an incinerator WC, which simply cremates waste safely. With the extra land, the provision of a treatment system would be a priority. Nestling under the shadow of Munnia mountain in the Burren, the property offers "to die for" views both to the front and the back, according to Mr McInerney. The nearby road connects Kinvara with Ballyvaughan, Lisdoonvarna and the Cliffs of Moher. Kinvara is six miles away and Ballyvaughan is seven, making this a good holiday home for both Irish and international buyers. The property has a slipway to the side of the house, which leads directly onto the beach. To turn a car, the driver must do it on the beach. With the extra land, a buyer can create proper parking and turning facilities. This is a private place, accessed usually by local farmers. The property has ESB and phone connections. Viewing of the cottage is by appointment only. Access to the property is not simple and in a high tide, turning for the first time requires a proficient driver. The property is for sale by private treaty with the agents retaining the right to call a public auction.
