Tiny, one-room, off grid cottage for sale in Galway, Ireland

A characterful cottage, located on the outskirts of Galway in Ireland, has just entered the property market – and it’s prime for development. Uniquely, it currently only consists of one room.

The remote, ocean-front cottage is said to be “perfect for renovation,” according to Spencer Auctioneers, who have listed the property. With three acres of land to play with, it could be ideal for a would-be or experienced farmer, especially as the acreage offers “good grazing.” You’ll also find space to moor a boat on the coastal frontage.

In its current state, the cottage is essentially one large room, with no official floor plan. The traditional stone building measures 17″6 feet wide by 11″4 feet deep and has a sheeted roof.

Access to the cottage is via a green stable door. While there are no windows, light enters the property through a skylight in the roof.

Planning permission or building regulations approval would need to be applied for by the new owners.

The annual Clifden Arts Festival and Connemara Pony Show also attract both Irish and international visitors.

For fans of golf, there are seven courses, including the Connemara Golf Club, within an hour’s drive of the property. Shannon Airport is around a two and half hour drive away, while Galway City, with its road, rail and air connections is 54 miles away.
