Windermere, 35 Threadneedle Road, Salthill - €1,650,000
Brought onto the market by O'Donnellan and Joyce Auctioneers, this five-bedroom property is a breath-taking example of how to live in style at one of Galway's most prestigious addresses.
The spectacular home is set on a generous 0.32-acre site in the heart of Salthill, which is one of the most highly sought-after residential spots in Galway.

The property is full of natural light throughout and suitable for a family, with ample living space for having guests over or hosting parties.
In the property's listing, written by O'Donnellan and Joyce Auctioneers, the home is described as 'thoughtfully designed and immaculately maintained'.
'This residence is the epitome of timeless sophistication blended with modern convenience,' the listing says.
The kitchen in the property boasts beautiful granite worktops, an induction hob, and other useful appliances.
There is also a spacious utility room, large entrance hall, and expansive hallway on the first floor of the property.
The bedrooms are all doubles, complimented with oak flooring, and a cherrywood walk-in wardrobe in the primary bedroom. The primary bedroom also features an ensuite with a jacuzzi corner bath and separate shower, double sink vanity unit, heated towel rails, and high-quality fittings.
'The expansive landscaped gardens have been designed to provide privacy, tranquillity, and multiple functional spaces,' the listing says.
'The south-facing patio is a perfect suntrap ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The lawns both artificial and natural provide low-maintenance spaces for relaxation and play.
'Raised beds are bursting with flowers, herbs, fruit bushes, and vegetables. Exterior features include sandstone paving, lighting fixtures, exterior power points and gated side access on both sides of the house.'
With luxury finishes, generous proportions, and a location second to none, this home truly has it all.
Aughnacurra, Dangan - €1,500,000
If you like expansive and relaxing green spaces, you'll love this Dangan property.
DNG Maxwell Heaslip and Leonard have brought this extraordinary six-bedroom home to the market, boasting approximately 460 metres squared of living space and a stunningly landscaped 0.8-acre site.
This truly exceptional residence is architect-designed and brings a not often seen level of individuality.
DNG Maxwell Heaslip and Leonard said the property combines 'expansive living space, thoughtful design, and unparalleled privacy in a leafy, tranquil setting'.
Nestled in the heart of Bushypark, Aughnacurra offers its future owners a rare opportunity to purchase a sizeable and unique property just minutes from the city centre but featuring all the 'serenity and seclusion' of countryside living.
The Bushypark area is renowned for its scenic surroundings and proximity to the University, excellent schools, sports facilities, and the city's vibrant cultural and commercial life.
The house is a split-level home arranged over three floors. It has clearly been meticulously planned to make the most of the available light and space, with large windows perfectly framing views of the surrounding lush and mature gardens.
'The careful orientation and layout allow natural light to flood the living areas throughout the day, while a blend of open-plan and private spaces cater to both relaxed family living and elegant entertaining,' the property's listing says.
'The main residence features generously proportioned reception rooms, including a formal lounge, a library/study, a sitting room and a beautifully appointed kitchen/dining area, all seamlessly connected yet offering defined zones for comfortable living.
'A standout feature of the home is its flowing layout, which incorporates mezzanine levels and varying ceiling heights, creating architectural interest at every turn.'
Six large bedrooms are each offered unique views of the beautiful garden, while the principal suite offers a peaceful sanctuary complete with luxurious fittings.
'The lower ground level includes fully self-contained guest accommodation – ideal for extended family, visitors, or potential use as an au pair suite or home office, with independent access and all the comforts of a separate dwelling,' DNG Maxwell Heaslip and Leonard added.
This is a very rare opportunity for a potential buyer to acquire a truly one-of-a-kind home, which the Auctioneers claims must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
